Pencil Hat

I received a free mini book of school themed knits in my e-mail a few weeks ago. I happened to have all the colors for the pencil hat in my leftover yarn stash. It was a very simple knit, perfect for vacation knitting. The original design called for a rolled brim. I think that looked unfinished, so I added a simple ribbing. Also, I added 6 purl rows to make it look a little more like a six sided pencil.
