Featuring a unique construction method, Astria Hat provides endless possibilities to play with colour - which will have you wanting to whip up one after the other. The arc shaping provides a fun base to work with bold colour blocking, stripes or a faded version. With so many ways to combine your favourite colours, this is a terrific way to use up yummy yarn leftovers. The pattern provides instructions for the stripe, colour block and fade/solid options.

Pattern includes a technique video tutorial.
