This hat was inspired by my love for the "UK Wildcats" Men's Basketball program. My hubby and youngest brother are also big UK fans. We love watching and playing basketball.
The pattern is enough to alter the colors to into your favorite team. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn for this project. However, you can use any #4 worsted weight yarn; just note there may be a slight variation in overall size.
So, enjoy the pattern and support your favorite team!!!!
