Backstory:
When I was in college yarn always seemed so expensive!
So I told all of my friends that if they bought me a skein of
yarn then I’d turn it into a hat if I could keep the extra yarn. It
turned out to be a hit and I ended up making so many of
these hats! Over time, this pattern emerged as I perfected
making the hat again & again.
