I love a pattern that is suitable for TV knitting but also provides an interesting result.  Great for beginners and more experienced knitters alike.
 
This hat pattern is a fun twist on a traditional rib stitch with a subtle and beautiful design.  Includes two crown decrease options for extra versatility.  
 
Pattern includes three sizes: Child/Teen (17”x8”), Adult (S/M) (19”x8”), and Adult (L/XL) (21”x9”).
