Fourth Hat in #HatNotHate Series - The Triangle Hat

This is the fourth hat in the #hatnothate series. The pattern stitch comes from a book I got while I was still in Germany. Even though the book is in German, it has graphs of the different pattern stitches.  As it turns out, I had picked out the same pattern I used for my Triangle Socks.

The yarn I used is Heat Wave from Red Heart. I got it on clearance at Michaels.  I used size 8 double pointed (DP) needles.
