MARIO HAT

This is a pattern for a Mario themed hat.  This was a request from a co-worker for her 11-year old son.  He is crazy about all forms of video games.  If you are wondering why the ties are red, spring green, and white, that is because the hat I made her is a two-sided hat that has Luigi’s logo on the other side.  The pattern here is for totally Mario Hat.  I will have the pattern for a Luigi themed hat soon.
