Easily customizable hat with color work stripes, broken up with straight striping. I want you to make something YOU love, so I’ve included tips on how to size up or down, and how to make the hat longer or shorter.

This pattern is a mix of a stitch sampler and a color work shawl, beginner friendly, and all set against a garter base. You’ll never get stuck in one section for too long, because the colors and stitch patterns are constantly changing. The shawl looks and feels huge, but the final stitch count is under 400.
