Darolyn hat is written with a chart for the colour work section.
Designed to be worked in 3 colours Darolyn is the perfect pattern to use up part skeins of DK weight yarn.
The testers proved it looks just as good in only 2 colours and the smaller sizes take less than a skein of both colours.

Sized to fit from Toddler to large adult, you can make one for every member of the family in their favourite colours.

To fit head circumference
40.5, 46, 50, 56, 61cm/16, 18, 20, 22, 24 inches

There are separate instructions for working top down or bottom up, the file suffixed with ‘B’ contains the bottom up instructions

Gauge is worked with the mid sized needle, the smaller needle being for working the band and the larger needle for the colour work, to keep it nice and stretchy.
