Nine Inch Nails Hat *Free Pattern*

I have made quite a few of these hats. I just love Nine Inch Nails :D My favorite band EVER! so I decided to share the pattern.


This is a good pattern for a base beanie. Just make without the NIN for a plain hat or switch up colors and patterns.

*****UPDATE 11-23-09*****
I made a tutorial on how to switch colors and use a chart
Here is the link
