Bonus Pattern – Apple Hat After I made Episode 25, I contacted Ariel Zusya Benjamin to let him know how much I enjoyed his pattern and that I had talked about it on the podcast. I asked if he ever planned to make a PDF of the pattern, or if he would allow me to post a PDF of it on my blog. He replied and very kindly granted me permission to post the pattern here. If you like the pattern, please send him a note of thanks! Apple Hat Pattern Also - a link to the Apple Hat pattern page on Ravelry.
