Never get lost in the snow with this super soft and colorful hat! The whimsical shape and bright colors will brighten your day even in the dead of winter.

Knit on size 15 needles, this project is quick to make and makes a great gift too. It requires about half of a 100g skein of each color, making it a good project for stash busting or great for showcasing a special yarn that isn’t enough for a whole project.
