Nick's Collegiate Hat
I made this hat for one of my brothers, Nick, who just graduated college from Drexel University in Philly. They are the Drexel Dragons with the colors of navy and gold. I actually followed an older pattern and just cast on more stitches to make it larger.
I used the same idea as the Pumpkin head beanie, because this is actually a reversible pattern with one side being more of a beanie and the other shaping as more of a beret. If you check out the Pumpkin Head hats http://erincanknit.blogspot.com/2009/08/halloweenie-beanie-aka-pumpkin-head-hat.html you can see that this is in more of a beret shape. I flipped it to the other side for the little broski.
I just cast on 110 and followed the exact same pattern.
I added in two rows of gold into an otherwise navy hat. It turned out great and my brother said he would actually WEAR it!
