Meet Quinn, the ultimate canvas for your creative flair!
This versatile project is like a treasure trove of endless color possibilities, waiting to be explored by your imagination. With two available sizes and a choice between three or five colors, Quinn’s elegant yet straightforward colorwork pattern turns every stitch into a delightful palette of your own design.

CONSTRUCTION
Quinn begins by using a provisional cast on, which serves as the foundation for creating the folded stockinette brim of the hat. Once the brim is completed, you will then proceed to knit the colorwork in the round, to the top of the hat.
To give the hat a contemporary and stylish shape, the final stitches are seamlessly joined together using Kitchener Stitch.
