Boxy Dude Hat Pattern

Boxy Dude Hat Pattern

This was a hat I made using mosaic or slip stitch knitting. That means the color design is acheived using only one color at a time. I wanted to post a new free pattern to say thanks for 500,000 visits!!! I like the mod squares look of the hat. In girly colors it could be gorgeous. And in these colors it's perfect for a guy!
