This turned out better than I anticipated. It took about two hours to make on size 13 dpns and a circ.
I hope I can wrest it from Ted.
The pattern is "Handpaint Hat," by Linda Daniels, of Northampton Wools. I found it in Knit Hats! Fifteen Cool Patterns to Keep You Warm, Gwen Steege, ed. (Storey Publishing, 2002).
