The Pine Tree Hat is an adorable winter design perfect for anyone who loves the great outdoors!  It's a basic beanie with a simple charted graph for the colorwork design.  If you're unfamiliar with using charts, this might be a good project to learn this technique. The hat is knit on circular needles and has instructions for two different weight yarns, bulky and worsted. The instructions are easy to follow and are sized from baby through adult. The Pine Tree Hat knits up quickly and looks great on everyone.  Add a faux-fur pompom or make one yourself!
