Textured Diamonds Hat

Made up almost entirely of knit and purls, the most complicated thing you have to do in this pattern is purl two
together through the back loop -- and don't worry if that sounds scary, there's a tutorial link right in the pattern if
you need it!
The Textured Diamonds Hat is designed to sit snug to the head with the ribbing, but, have a bit of slack in the rest of
the hat to go over braids and buns! Also, the pattern is completely reversible, so, there is no Right Side or Wrong
Side and you can wear whichever side you like best!

• You will use your own yarn, but get to keep the finished object. As well, you will get a final copy of the finished pattern for your own use.
• You will not share or distribute the pattern PDF.
• You will be able to complete the test by the deadline posted.
• If circumstances come up and you cannot complete the test by the deadline posted, you will notify me as soon as possible.
• You will post any errors or other issues you encounter with the pattern to the testing chat
• If you are altering the pattern to your own preferences, please post to the chat thread, or message me here on YarnPond to confirm. I don’t usually mind alterations, but I do have to make sure that the elements of the pattern I need tested are being tested.
• I would like to have feedback posted the chat once every two weeks, minimum, please. That feedback does not have to be elaborate, it can even be ‘I haven’t touched this since last time’.
• Finished Projects should include a photograph. While I would prefer modeled photos (if applicable), this is not an absolute requirement. I may ask for your project photograph to be featured on social media, if I like it, but that is not a requirement of my testers.
• Testers should fill out the feedback questions when they have completed their project.
• You may create a project page on Ravelry at any time you wish (also not a requirement).
• If 'life happens' (ex: illness, super busy work scheduling, etc), and you think you won't be able to finish, please, let me know, I don't like dropping people from tests for things that are not their fault, and I'm happy to extend the deadline, even if it's informal. 

The designer is offering discounted or free pattern(s) to testers

Two patterns from my self-published pattern library, in addition to the final draft of the pattern being tested!

The designer has created the following milestones, in order to keep track of progress during the test knit. By marking off each milestone as you complete it, you can easily keep the designer up to date with your progress.
