Here is one hat it is pattern 2200 - Honey Comb Hat in Fingering. It is available FREE with any Fingering yarn purchase or $5 if you happen to have a lot of "left overs" laying around.

Plus it can easily be adjusted to multiple head sizes, but adjusting the rib height or changing needle sizes. As always feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Stay cool!...

I worked mine from the Danish book.  The Traditional Danish Sweaters were actually called Night Sweaters (shirts). Sleeves are 3/4 length. I cannot wait for some cooler temperatures to wear mine. The book gives a lot of different Star patterns from century old sweaters that Vivian studied at the Danish...
