The Color Block-aclava is knit bottom-up in fisherman’s rib with a simple spiral decrease at the crown. Two contrasting colors for the neck and hat sections create a fun color block.

Samples are knit in Malabrigo single-ply Worsted. I recommend choosing yarns that are plush and have structure, rather than drape.
