Mr. Pointy
self-published in August 2008: $5 PDF
This is a stripy, asymmetrical design, with a different number of stitches between each point, giving you a variety of positioning options when wearing it. Increases and decreases form a wavy pattern in the stripes and points along the edge; and yes, Mr. Pointy is a Buffy reference!
This pattern was posted about on:
The Daily Chum Lime & Violet blog
The stats:
Size: adult (fits my 22inch head well, but the hat gets blocked, so it will block to fit slightly smaller or larger adult heads)
Yarn: about 90-100 yards of worsted to aran weight
Needles: size US 9 16" circular, a set of size 9 double pointed, and a crochet hook size appropriate for your yarn
Extras: 10 stitch markers total - 5 of one type/color and 5 of another type/color; and a balloon for blocking
Gauge: 4 sts/inch after blocking (the hat gets stretched and blocked to fit, so exact gauge isn't super important, as long as it's close)
Skills Needed: knitting with increases and decreases, in the round, single crochet stitch with increases and decreases
The pdf is is 6 pages full of high-quality color photos, with the actual pattern contained on one page so you don't need to print all 6 pages.
