phydeaux’s mini skein sets are a great way to try out colorwork in a small accessory. ‘riles’ uses all 5 colors in the mini skein set named ‘neutrals’. the silk in the yarn adds lovely sheen and drape to the project.

the colorwork here is essentially stripes with slipped stitches added to overlap the colors. if you can knit in the round, k1tbl, slip sts and knit 2 or 3 sts together, you can create this easy wear, slouchy hat.
