Pattern Description from Knitting for Peace: “Every charity knitter needs a pattern for a basic rolled-brim hat. It uses are unlimited: knit it out of wool for an afghan child, use a warm and washable blend for a child at a local shelter, or find very soft, luxurious fiber for a friend - or stranger - undergoing chemotherapy.”

“A basic hat pattern like this is also a blank canvas for you to play with color, embellishment, and stitch patterns, expanding your knitting repertoire and using up odds and ends of yarn. Experiment with stripes, topknots, and pompoms--anything you think the recipient might like.”
