Now you can have a hat to match your Blended Lines Cowl or your Blended Lines Shawl! Or, just make it as a stand-alone. It has lovely squishy texture and a relaxed fit. It can be made as a beanie or as a slouchy hat. You can use two yarns and blend it like your cowl or shawl, or you can stripe it! It also looks great worked in one yarn. If you want extra ideas for colour combos, you can check out the matching shawl and cowl projects.
Many thanks to my testers who made some lovely versions.

There is also a winter version of this hat in worsted weight yarn.

SUPPLIES
200-220 yards (140-180m) total of fingering weight yarn in one or two colours.

US 6 (3.5 mm) circular needles (or dpns), or appropriate size needles to meet gauge. A 16” (40 cm) circular is recommended. You can use magic loop or dpns for the crown shaping.
You will also need a sewing up needle and a stitch marker for beginning of the round.

Differences in gauge will affect yarn usage and the finished dimensions of your hat.
