This is an enhancement to the original Melt the Ice hat; if you haven’t already, please join the many, many knitters who have bought the pattern and thus donated to those affected in Minnesota.

This hat recipe is not fully tested (I’ve knitted it, but others haven’t.) Due to the timely nature of the this, however, I am also posting the chart as a standalone; you can knit it with my recipe or it can be added to the 116-stitch or 132-stitch versions of the Melt the Ice or similar hats.

The chart is to add the words YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME to a Melt the Ice-style hat. The slogan is from the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and seem particularly appropriate for the anti-ICE protests. The words will be relatively small, an inch or so high; I wanted them to be all on one like, but also, in the series, these are the words Carl whispers to himself for strength, not something shouted at a power figure.
