This hat is knit with Colinette Point 5 and it is a pattern I
improvised.
I bought this yarn with the intention of knitting a certain
hat, but when I started it I did not like how the thick and thin nature of the
yarn looked. So I started trying different patterns (many). Eventually I decided to
cast on with a provisional cast on and do the body in mistake rib. I love
mistake rib because it always looks good. Once it was long enough, it took out
the provisional cast on and did a 3 needle bind off. Then I picked up around
the top edge and knit the crown. It ended up having a little pointy thing at
the top which I do not mind as it sort of reminds me of some hats from the
1950s which I have seen (or maybe Genghis Khan). Either way, I am okay with it.
I then did single crochet around the bottom edge to even it out a little.
