Like most knitters, I see a knitted item and love it, I MUST have it. I loved the simplicity and shape of the one worn by the character Little Rock in the hilarious movie Zombieland and looked for a similar pattern. Since I couldn't find one, I immediately went to work. Here it is for you FREE. Enjoy this fast and fun knit in just a few hours. MATERIALS: Needles: 10 (6.0 mm) circular 10 1⁄2 (6.5 mm) circular & DPNs Yarn: 1-2 skeins bulky weight yarn depending on which version you choose (see decrease section below for options). Used in the examples is Lion Brand Wool Ease Chunky - 12 ply, 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool in Indigo (blue) and Spice (brown) colorways. Gauge: 12.5 stitches and 17.75 rows in 4 inches in stockinette on size 10 needles Tapestry needle RIBBING: On size 10 circulars, C.O. 72 stitches. Join & K1, P1 ribbing for 1-2” INCREASE ROUND: *KFB, P, repeat from * to end of round (108 sts.) HAT: (With size 10 1⁄2 circulars) *K1, P2, repeat from * until end of round. Repeat this round until hat measures 10” from c.o. edge DECREASE ROUNDS (brown example): Round 1: *K2tog, repeat from * (54 sts.) Brown hat's decreases look more like the one in the movie. It takes up a little more yarn (approx. 160yds.) compared to the blue one (approx. 145 yds.)

Round 2: repeat round 1 (27 sts.) Finish by taking last 27 sts. off needle purlwise and weave in ends.

Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)
