This is such a cute and fast project to work on. Perfect for the summer heat and can be paired with almost everything. This hat can be made in a single shade however it’s fun to take creative control and mix bold colors should you wish. For this project you can use either a 4mm hook(if you want your stitches tighter) or 4.5mm hook. I’ve made two version of this hat; in one I mixed pink and white and in this tutorial I mixed blue and white. Feel free to wish colors however you wish. It is also a good project for scrap yarn. I hope you enjoy making this piece and looking forward to see you play around with colors.
