Simone Van Iderstine’s Adaptation of “We Call Them Pirates”
The original pattern by Adrian Bizilia may be found here.

It was love at first sight with Hello Yarn’s “We Call Them Pirates” hat but I didn’t have the weight of yarn or the right size needles suggested so I adapted the pattern for what I had on hand. You don’t really need the 20” circular. You may use double pointed needles instead.

Worsted weight (9 wpi) yarn ~135 yards each of main color (MC) and contrast color

Pictured in Merino Wool and Samoyed worsted from Belfast Mini Mills.
