When designing this hat I knew that I wanted to create something fun and joyous, and what could be more fun than a hat inspired by bright, colourful building bricks?
This pattern uses standard 4ply / fingering weight yarn and would be a great use of scraps and leftovers from past projects. Use the colours and quantities shown, or use what you have to hand and knit your own adventure.
