A free pattern, done two different ways but with the same yarn, to make hats to donate to help keep women marching on Washington warm. (Why do such a thing? What’s the point? Where did this concept get started? I’ll let the ladies behind this project say it best by directing you to their website.) This pattern knits up easy in an hour or two depending on your skill level. One version of the pattern is done in the round with a kitchener stitch bind off for a seamless finished look, and one is knit flat with ribbing, garter stitch and side seams so even beginners can knit a What’s New Hat to contribute.

Hat sizes listed in this pattern listing are for the intermediate, not the beginner hat.
