Stranded colorwork in the round is about as much fun as you can have with string. This is the hat Mary uses to teach her introduction to stranded colorwork - created just for beginners!

Start with a couple of rows of ribbing, then you’re off to the races. Work the enchanting forest motifs with only two colors in each row, then form the spoke-like centered double decreases on the crown. A perky top stem finishes it off with style!
