The Republic Hat by Nicole Reeves
This is the republic hat. The great thing about hats is that they can be knit up really fast, they usually don't take too much yarn, and they make great gifts. I love this hat it is simple yet it has some unique design features. You can down load the pattern here. I am thinking that the button might be a little hard to find. Ok, not a little I don't think that there is a chance in h-e-double hocky sticks that I am going to find one any where near me.
