I adore a bulky yarn hat for fall and winter! This pattern has a great stitch repeat that is fun to work up with a three color set. You can likely use some scraps for the accent colors as I did. It also is a nice pattern for a single color yarn as the repeating texture is enough to give it some interest, particularly if the person the hat is for prefers neutrals. This pattern includes instructions for sizes preemie to adult large so you can mix and match colors to make an entire family set.
