Inspired by a love of skulls, and the forest.
This pattern includes 2 separate, but similar hat designs.
A folded brim and stranded colorwork keep this little project interesting. Knit one for yourself, and another for a friend… or one for each personality.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Chart A is longer, therefore slouchier, and gives focus to the lighter of your two contrasting colors.
Chart B is shorter, for a closer fit, and boasts a darker background to really let the pattern pop.
These hats are knit seamlessly from the bottom up, and feature a slightly pointed tip.
Because of the long color repeats in some areas of the chart (11 sts at the longest), locking your floats is a very useful method to limit how many strands you will see (or snag) on the wrong-side of your work.
You can choose to lock your floats after every other stitch, or every 5 stitches, whatever works for you! I locked mine after every other stitch.
Please see Kyle William’s video on this fantastic technique.
 
I’d love to see your hat!
