Mosaic Hat

Job type	Test knit
Description	This two-colour beret-style hat is perfect for those partial skeins of sock yarn where there’s not enough left to make a sock but still enough for a project! It’s designed to be the perfect weight for a lightweight spring hat, and the Mosaic Knitting technique means that it’s an easy knit without the fear of taming colourwork floats!

Ownership of the finished item	The finished item is yours to keep.
Requirements from the maker	You will use your own yarn, but get to keep the finished object. As well, you will get a final copy of the finished pattern for your own use. You will not share or distribute the pattern PDF. You will be able to complete the test by the deadline posted. If circumstances come up and you cannot complete the test by the deadline posted, you will notify me as soon as possible. You will post any errors or other issues you encounter with the pattern to the testing chat If you are altering the pattern to your own preferences, please post to the chat thread, or message me here on YarnPond to confirm. I don’t usually mind alterations, but I do have to make sure that the elements of the pattern I need tested are being tested. I would like to have feedback posted the chat once every two weeks, minimum, please. That feedback does not have to be elaborate, it can even be ‘I haven’t touched this since last time’. Finished Projects should include a photograph. While I would prefer modeled photos (if applicable), this is not an absolute requirement. I may ask for your project photograph to be featured on social media, if I like it, but that is not a requirement of my testers. Testers should fill out the feedback questions when they have completed their project. You may create a project page on Ravelry at any time you wish (also not a requirement).
Rewards from the designer	The designer is offering discounted or free pattern(s) to testers Two patterns from my self-published pattern library, in addition to the final draft of the pattern being tested!
Milestones	The designer has created the following milestones, in order to keep track of progress during the test knit. By marking off each milestone as you complete it, you can easily keep the designer up to date with your progress. cast on completed ribbing completed Hat Body completed Crown Decreases Finished and blocked
