Yours Truly Graph Hat

I'm sure you've noticed a theme here and this post is no different... here is your NEXT Valentine's Day related graph hat! :) You can make this hat in all sizes plus it works up quickly! It doesn't get better then that. :p And, I'd like to give a big thanks to Sarah of Stitched After Dark for making up the hat and taking pictures for me. The one I had made sold before I could get pictures and then I fell ill so she totally made this post possible today! Go check out your free pattern!
