This hat is a great chance to practice your stranded colorwork. It starts out easy, but by the end you’ll have had the opportunity to practice stranding across up to five stitches at a time and catching floats longer than that. The instructions even suggest which stitches to catch the floats on. There are not specific instruction on how to perform stranded colorwork included in this pattern.

The entire hat is both charted and written out, so you can work according to your preference. The sample required 40g of the main color and 30g of the contrast color.
