UPDATE September 18th: The chart has been changed to reflect C2 is used for the ballot box and C3 for the word Vote and the ballot going into the box.

First knit it, then wear the new “Vote beanie“ proudly. You might even get to encourage more people to cast their vote, which is of course is super important this year more so than ever before, because our Democracy is at stake.

The beanie shows the word VOTE in a slanted fashion and a ballot going into the contrasting color Ballot box.

The hat is knitted in the round from the bottom up and you are given two choices to knit up the crown. We do love choices, right? In fact, I knitted both sizes and pinned the larger one with a cute heart shaped pin as shown in a couple of photos.

The pattern is fully written, comes with a how to catch the floats in the back video link and a chart for the Vote motif.
