It's a basic beanie with some freeform ears attached. I'm a big fan of making hats from the top down because I can try them on as I go to sort out the length and I don't need to swatch -- I just figure out the gauge after I've knitted 10 or 20 rounds and that tells me when to stop decreasing. The less I have to read, memorize or refer to, the better, in my world. Yeah, it’s sorta my pattern — once I learned how to make a top-down hat, I never looked at a pattern again.
