Small Stupid Hat

**This is a charity pattern and all of the proceeds will be donated. See more info below.** The small stupid is exactly what it says: Small and stupid, because it doesn’t cover your ears. It’s a style statement and cool people will understand that. It is also perfect to use that one skein of really special fingering or DK weight yarn that you love but have no idea what to do with. The hat is knit as a tube and turned inside out halfway to make the brim. Immediately after, we start the crown decreases to really make sure your ears will not be warm in the slightest. As the last step, the brim will be folded and sewn into place. Perfect to cover up questionable hair situations, show off some awesome earrings or just add that little bit of spice to your everyday outfits.
