We are absolutely in love with the chunky knitted hats our Olympic athletes are sporting this year! We just had to whip up our own version. A superfast knit - you can have yours done in time to wear for the closing ceremonies! Plus it's just a super-cute beanie that we think will stay in style for a long time to come.

Knit with 2 skeins of our Imahog Handspun or our Hippie Hollow Handspun we're making this pattern free to you to enjoy.
