This is my own pattern. The "M" is duplicate stitched on after the hat was completed. I charted it myself, using the Minnesota logo as a template. As you can see, the Minnesota M is a little stretched and slanted.
He loved it, and as far as I know, he's only misplaced it once! (Paul recovered it from the movie theater in Davenport. Lucky for Steve or it would have been the last knitted hat he'd ever receive!)
I used Lion Brand Alpine Wool, which is a roving type yarn that is super warm. It was really hard to find Minnesota colors! He requested the pompom on top. And he just texted this Friday that a girl in his Anthro Lab complimented him on it :)
As for 'Olive', the neckline is completely bound off, all ends woven in, and the body stitches have been picked up!
