Sprouts Hat Knitting Pattern

I sketched up this pattern on a day when I planted a heap of seeds in my tiny greenhouse - while previously planted seeds sprouted behind me. I knit up the first hat with the pattern that afternoon and had 4 more done in the next two days. I love making this hat, and it will always remind me of the feeling of spring and planting seeds while having a rush of creativity flowing. This is a great stash busting pattern, using 55 yards of the main color and only 10-12 yards of the two contrast colors- so there are lots of colorful outcomes possible. The pattern uses Super Bulky yarn and is written in 3 sizes: child, adult m/l, and adult l/xl. Shown in Malabrigo Rasta. Uses US 11.0 - 8.0mm and US 15.0 - 10.0mm needles.
