Targa is a bold colourwork hat, designed to use up small amounts of yarn that might be left over from other projects. The aran-weight yarn and fun colourwork make for a really quick, satisfying project. The hat features a tubular cast-on and a small amount of ribbing for a neat edge, abstract colourwork, and crown decreases. It’s worked from the bottom up in the round.
