About
This is a project I've wanted to do for such a long time!
The picture is from a prototype version pf a hat I made for one of my books, so the pattern posted here is slightly different, but equally cute. <3

Step 1
Finished dimensions-
Because the brim is ribbed, this will be a very stretchy hat! It should fit an average adult-sized head (19"-23").Materials-
I used two skeins (one of each) of Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn in White and Black with a US10.5/6.5mm circular knitting needle. You will also need scissors, a darning/tapestry needle, and possibly a wire brush.Abbreviations-
STS - Stitches
K - Knit
P - Purl
K2Tog - Knit 2 together -
Step 2
Ok, let's get started!~
With Black yarn, cast on 72 sts.
Rib in 2x2 for 12 rounds.
[Optional: if you want a fold over brim, continue to rib for an extra 13 rounds, 25 rounds total.] -
Step 3
Switch to white yarn and knit one round in pattern.
Next round: Knit around.
Continue to knit around until your hat measures 6 inches from where you changed from black to white. -
