Yup, it's officially called a Barn Hat by Jacqueline Fee. The pattern can be found in her book, The Sweater Workshop.
The book, in case you didn't know, is along the same lines as Elizabeth Zimmermann's books.........teaching you to think outside the box when it comes to knitting.
This will go along nicely with the Moccasin Socks I sent her a while back.
I am my mother's daughter. She taught me how to knit, ride a horse, love and enjoy the unique characteristics of all living things, shoot a .22 rifle, drive a car, cook, be kind to people (if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all), sing, and country dance.
Back to knitting...I dream, think, read and talk knitting.
I knit every day.
"There are few things as rewarding as having someone comment on your blog. You have to think about it, knit it, write it, take the pictures, upload it...so when someone says something nice, it's an automatic pat on the back!" Fleegle
I have that book, so I probably should make the hat. I love the colors you chose!
