Using a combination of knitting for the band and crochet for the top, this hat lets you practice both of your skills. The knit band looks difficult but is really an easy twist of stitches that looks like you are an expert at cables. The crochet part is a simple single crochet, chain combination with colour changes for pop.

If you think that the top of the hat will be too snug for you, eliminate every second decrease on the initial crochet row.

This little hat is a great way to use up those part skeins of worsted that you are saving up.
