Inspired by Evil Eye talismans, which are said to protect the wearer from jealous or spiteful looks that bring bad luck, this is a fun and quick stranded colorwork hat. The wide ribbed brim can either be folded to keep your ears toasty or worn flat for a stylish slouchy fit.

The Malik hat is available in one-size and fits an average adult sized head comfortably.

This is a great stash-busting pattern, using about 50 grams of the main color and 20 grams of the contrasting color. You may choose to use more than one contrasting color, or use a contrasting color for the brim, in order to use up more of your cherished bits of yarn!
