Here’s a quick and easy hat that’s perfect for gift giving or keeping for yourself! This hat is simple enough for diving into colorwork or knitting a hat for the first time because there’s no shaping until you reach the crown shaping. It’s also great for using up those odds and ends in the colorwork.

This pattern is fully charted.
