Revolver Hat Pattern

Revolver Hat Pattern
This is another test pattern I need someone to submit a picture for. Eventually I will make a hat using this pattern for Randy which he insists must be in black and white. As I said before though I am in the middle of a baby boom in my family and am stuck in baby sweater land. However I still wanted to share this neat looking gun I charted. This hat is knit in the round but could easily be switched to back and forth. Remember whoever submits the first picture and allows me to use it on my blog should also include a link to their blog or site in the email so I can credit them for the picture. Thanks and happy knitting.

Make one for yourself or a friend but please don't sell them unless 100% of profits go to charity. Please share the link and not the pattern itself. Due to the way I have written this pattern the image of the gun could be knit onto almost any garment simply by following the row instructions where you want them on that object. If you do this please understand that you cannot use the garment as your own pattern as I have charted this gun myself and because it is an image and not a stitch pattern it is copyrighted to me.
