Since climbing ropes and draws come in a variety of bright colors I thought it would be fun to use them as a motif for a hat. The hat was created to use relatively small amounts of fingering weight wool yarn. Rock Climbing Hat fits most adult sized heads. First work the ribbing and then knit from a color chart. I used Knit Picks Palette yarns (for the dark green version) in these colors:

Main Color - Larch Heather 120 yds
Rope - Orange 15 yds
Rope contrast - Lingberry 15 yds
Quick Draw/sling - Tarragon 20 yds
Carabiner - Silver 25 yds
