Melt the ICE Hat

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design. The sample shown was knit in Blue Sky Fibers Skyland for the DK version. ***All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the immigrant aid agencies who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.*** Approximately 200 yards of RED yarn of your choice in fingering, DK or Worsted needle sizes: US4 (US6, US8) tapestry needle scissors Finished Size: 22” circumference Errata: pattern has been updated to clarify how to do the decreases. There is now a [**crochet version**][1] of the hat available. ***Needle & Skein is a woman-owned small business, employing 4 individuals in the Twin Cities, Minnesota area. We appreciate your support of us in this endeavor.*** [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/melt-the-ice-crochet-version
