“BE GOOD” hat…
Of course, it’s always good to be GOOD and to do the right thing, even when it’s hard. Either way, the message works as a daily reminder to be your best especially these days.
This is also a tribute to Renee Good, a mother of three killed by ICE in 2026
This hat is knitted in the round from the bottom up starting with a ribbed edge, worked in simple knit stitches. Once knitted, it gets the words “BE GOOD” top stitched with a contrasting color. I like the skinny letters here and the fact that I don’t have to run a second color along to knit the letters. Easy peasy....
For sizes S-20"/M-21"/L-22" in the ribbed circumference, the body gets a bit more increased. The pattern is fully written and includes charts for the letters.
