This hat pattern uses 2 colors of a dk weight yarn, a solid and a variegated yarn.

You’ll find instructions for 4 sizes, sizes 1 and 2 for a child, sizes 3 and 4 for an adult.
They are written to fit head circumferences of approx. 17 (19, 21, 23) in 43 (48, 53, 58) cms with a negative ease of about 1-2 inches (hat circumference smaller than head).

The pictures show the hat knitted in size 3 with ZiaWoolz Cozy in the colorways Heartbreaker (color A) and “Room to Bloom” (color B), approx. 45 grams of color A and approx. 25 grams of color B was used for the sample.
Any dk weight yarns in contrasting colors can be used for the Desert Dancer, a solid color as color A in combination with a gradient colorway might also look fabulous.

The pattern has been tested and tech edited, thank you, I am most grateful to you all!!
