Note that it is a good idea to read the yarn requirements carefully if you are not using the recommended yarn. And swatch! Results with different yarns and different sizes may require more than one skein.

E.L.F. Hat

The E.L.F. (Elf Liberation Front) Cap was inspired by the scene in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix where Dobby wore a stack of hats that Hermione knitted to free the house-elves.

This hat looks like five separate hats, but is really one continuous piece.
