I do! This is the Banana Republic Knock off hat that was posted to craftster. It was a quick and easy knit.
I had to break out my button box to find a button for it.
I have a couple special ones. On the left are some glass buttons I received in a swap. On the right are some bakelite buttons I bought at an estate sale.
These buttons were in the same esate sale. The back says “Made in Czechoslovakia.”
And this bakelite bling baby. I think I need to make more hats

Many many thanks to KnitFlix for going the distance to google this pattern for me! I stopped on Google’s second page of results but she kept on plugging away!
Here is the link to the pattern she found: http://www.knittingfever.com/cgi-bin/cgi_c.exe?FreePatterns/solo-pattern.pdf and she also sent me a blog post about it: http://www.knitsonya.com/mt/2006/12/little_bit_of_knitting.html
I ended up doing 10 stitches. I used the 3 balls of Online Linie that I bought at Loopy Yarns when I was in Chicago. It’s a fast knit although I did not knit it in the 2 hours that Yarn Harlot did by any means. I guess all told it took about 6 hours here and there.
I also finished the Monterey Bay scarf that was in Interweave Knits Summer 07. One skein of FA SeaSilk in “Woodland” makes for a scarf about 7′ long. I still have to braid the fringe, but she’s finis!
Tip - Denise needles may be too slick to use with this yarn. I knit this a lot on the bus and had problems with the needles losing stitches when we went over bumps.
