So for quite some time now, I've been trying to find a pattern that works well for a man and a woman, that has some cool design on it, but isn't just a beanie. So I wrote my own. I made this hat for my husband for christmas, here's hoping he likes it!

Arrow Hat Pattern
Size "H" Hook
Note: This is an Advanced pattern. Make sure that you pay close attention to where the stitches are supposed to go in order to get the arrow pattern to come out correctly.
Throughout this pattern, I use many commas. The commas are perhaps the most important thing. For example, if you see FPDC, FPDC, dc, that means in the next three stitches, you are going to FPDC in the first, FPDC in the second, and dc in the third. However, if you see something like this: "FPDC and dc and FPDC all in same dc" make sure that you are doing all three, the FPDC, dc, and FPDC all in the same stitch from the previous row.
Instructions:
