knitting. a hat.

i want to knit a hat (i have only knitted mittens and the occasional socks or legwarmers) but now i want to move on. so i've been keeping my eyes open for a nice pattern.
then, for christmas i got a big ball of yarn (more like a big roll) with a pattern on the label. the instruction is for a poncho, but i found that the pattern was exactly what i wanted for my hat. here it is:

i cast on 58 stiches (just as a rough guess) on a size 8 needle and then i followed the "pattern stich" instructions and adjusted the amount to the pattern..
right now i'm just knitting it like a plain flat piece and i plan on sewing it together later to make the round hat shape. we'll see how it works out.

the mesh.

my idea
