Waldo the Grey by Raeli Masina

Beanie style hat is a little slouchy at the top. A folded ribbed brim is knit in a solid color, with horizontal stripes that decrease in width towards the top to meet in a small circle.

Accessibility statement: This pattern has a low vision version that is in verdana 22 pt font with no italics.

Designer’s description: This hat has a folded brim and horizontal stripes that gradually decrease in width creating a target on the back of your head. The pattern can easily be modified simply by using thicker or thinner yarn and going up or down a needle size. It would also make a super fun advent or scrap project. Feel free to grab your crayons and change the stripes to your heart’s desire (I recommend using the crayons to highlight the instructions that you will be doing in that corresponding yarn color). Don’t be limited just to two colors if you don’t want to be!
