This versatile hat is a quick knit and a great stashbuster for your bright colors. It works well in dk merino or dk cotton.
Simple color changes and knitting in the round make this a good introduction to color for a beginning knitter. Double-pointed needles (size 6) are used for decrease rows. The tutti-fruitties are I-cords. Visual instructions are included for constructing and assembling the I-cords.

The original pattern was knitted in fibranatura baby merino which is being discontinued. Suggestions for substitute dk merino’s and cottons are listed under the yarn section.
