Mr. Pointy: The Hat of Many Faces

self-released in August 2008: $3

This is a stripy, asymmetrical design, with a different number of stitches between each point, giving you a variety of positioning options when wearing it. Increases and decreases form a wavy pattern in the stripes and points along the edge; and yes, Mr. Pointy is a Buffy reference!

This pattern was posted about on:

The Daily Chum Lime & Violet blog



The stats:

Size: adult (fits my 22inch head well, but the hat gets blocked, so it will block to fit slightly smaller or larger adult heads)

Yarn: about 90-100 yards of worsted to aran weight

Needles: size US 9 16" circular, a set of size 9 double pointed, and a crochet hook size appropriate for your yarn

Extras: 10 stitch markers total - 5 of one type/color and 5 of another type/color; and a balloon for blocking

Gauge: 4 sts/inch after blocking (the hat gets stretched and blocked to fit, so exact gauge isn't super important, as long as it's close)

Skills Needed: knitting with increases and decreases, in the round, single crochet stitch with increases and decreases

The pdf is is 6 pages full of high-quality color photos, with the actual pattern contained on one page so you don't need to print all 6 pages.
