After a hard day of construction Excavator / Digger, Dump Truck and Bulldozer are driving off into the sunset (in a counter clockwise direction!).

I recommend using Ladderback Jackard technique to make this hat as there would be a lot of floats to catch in this design if knitted stranded and the contrasting colour can make this hard to hide.

If you’re unsure, this video is the best I’ve seen for detaling:

I have included two versions of the chart. A plain version and a ladderback jackard version, which details the jackard stitches that will be on the needles for the colourwork section.
