This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene.

Simplicity shines in this little beanie. Worked with two colors in a series of stripes and slipped stitches, you can zip through the tracks on this little hat in no time. Yarns with dramatic contrast really show the detail, but you can aim for a softer look with pastels, if you prefer.
