Designed for my dear friend Marly Bird, this hat pattern was inspired by the 24 Days of Quickes on her blog.  

In 2020, Marly's Facebook page got weird and for several days, we tried to make it un-weird.  Then thanks to one of the amazing people joining us for that whole adventure, we got it back to the way it was, and it was magical. 

Needless to say, it was a stressful time for Marly as she could not post or comment at all (thank goodness, she has a team and they all still had access), but on a particularly rough day when Marly was feeling pretty beat up about it, I told her, "You're A Magical Unicorn Marly Bird". 

When I had a break from sewing and wanted to make something that wasn't sewn, I decided I wanted to make a hat, so I grabbed my favorite yarn, Chic Sheep, and started knitting.

Look, it's a rainbow.  Huh, Marly's favorite color is rainbow.  Unicorns are rainbow.  Marly is a Magical Unicorn.  Huh. I think this should be a Marly hat. 

And now it is.  

You can get this pattern free for 24 hours as a part of the Marly Bird 24 Days of Quickies Blog hop.
