This pattern is available for free.

This free knitting pattern comes in 4 sizes – one size for kids, and 3 sizes for adults. This stranded design is easy to work up, and if you have experience knitting in the round and have dabbled in a little colorwork before, then you are going to love this.

Have fun with the colors- you can do the bold high contrast we’ve chosen here, or you could go with a softer palette choice using greys and pastels. You will only need about 100 - 150 yards of each colour to make up this hat.
