This hat is knitted in the round from the brim to the top of the hat with DK weight wool. I used one main color and five contrast color pops. You can use as many contrast colors as you like for a two-color version or a multi-color stashbusting hat. Twisted ribbing forms the folded hem for a double thick warm brim. Stranded colorwork decorates the body of the hat with a simple chevron and cross motif. You can use this hat a gauge swatch for the Lindu Peysa too! Play with colors and find the right needle size to achieve the recommended gauge of 24 stitches in stranded colorwork. Then, you confidently knit the matching sweater called Lindu Peysa next.
