A simple hat, a simple message.
A free pattern—see the sidebar!
Knit one, knit many, and let your elected officials know what is important to you! My list includes corporate accountability, reversal of the Citizen's United ruling, and tax reform. You?

Brilliant!

I wonder if it would work just as well to weave in the long floats kaffe fassett-style. That way you can knit from the right side and see what the right side looks like while avoiding long floats. Also you keep the elasticity.

Corporate regulation and reversal of Citizens United are tops for me, too. Those are the kind of concrete agenda items that I think the Occupy movements would do well at this juncture to start working for. Thanks for making your hat pattern available!

I agree with all of those things, and would include a reversal of the corporate personhood ruling (even if we have to go back to Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, 118 U.S. 394 (1886).

Thanks for sharing this, Janine! A high school friend of mine has been to the Seattle 99% site daily since the beginning - I think I must knit him this hat!

Thank you for the great pattern - I just finished mine and I'm wearing it. So far I've gotten encouraging comments. I want to make more and give to family and friends. Thank you!

My Faded Splendor Tam was perfect until I put it over the 11" plate. To get the tam over the plate the band was stretched and is now and too big to wear. Maybe my technique was wrong. If I soak it again will the band return? Are there any other remedies? Help!
