Hello my Knitters!
Today's pattern offering is a simple hat. I originally designed it for my day job, since I thought maybe, giving out hand knit hats for Christmas with our logo would make us stand out with valued customers and vendors. That little "homey" touch. The higher ups agreed it was a nice idea, so I got permission to test out how much time and cost it would take. Ultimately, they decided against the idea for this year at least. I had made the sample hat and pattern already, so...
How the hat got the name: My dad had a birthday. I wore the hat to the celebration. Brother in law called it "Meg's Hat" after the hat Meg Griffen wears in the show Family Guy. It seems to fit, don't you think?

When you are ready to bind off, drop main color. Insert your needle to knit two together through the back stitch. Then, knit that stitch using the contrasting yarn. Slide the stitch you just made back onto your left hand needle. Then, knit two together through the back loop, sliding the resulting loop back on to your left needle. Continue binding off in this fashion loosely.
Weave in ends, trim, and enjoy!!
I have no idea what's going on with the formatting here.
