Chart attached. Great pattern.
I have made two of these hats for my kids and they love them because of all the color options. I do make adjustments to the pattern because I am a very tight knitter. But the pattern and chart turn out wonderfully and so cute!

Looked like a great project however...
Completed the ribbing and was about to begin the body and realized there was no chart for the pattern shown!

No chart!
I liked the pattern. Although there was not a chart, I made it all one color. Oops! The yarn in the pattern is chunkier than what I used, so I have a child’s hat. I revised the pattern still using the 10 1/2 needles and now have a hat that I can wear. I like the simple decrease to work the top. Simpler than most of my patterns and still looks great. I am now working on a third hat. I did contact Joann about the chart and was told it would be put online. Still haven’t seen it.

No chart
The pattern looked great. Only when I went to make it, I couldn’t. The chart for the color work is missing.
