This is a variation of the Cobblestones hat found free on Ravelry. I made an error knitting it a few years ago and like the variation as much as the original and now I knit both versions.

In my variation, the purl stitches lined up rather than offset so substitute K2P2 for the rows in the pattern that called for P2K2
I love the colors together. Really neat hat.
Love the bright and cheery stripes!
