Garden Realm Hat was inspired by the lovely gardens in Newport inspired by the Newport Flower Show. In the year 2020 because of the Covid-19, the Flower Show was cancelled and will be missed.

The hat uses two skeins, one light and one dark colored, of DK yarn for a mosaic pattern. The mosaic hat is knit from the brim to the crown. The pattern is easy and uses only one color every two rows. You slip the stitch of the color that you are not using in the row.

The hat sizing will fit a toddler, child, teen and adult woman and man.
