The MJ Spiral Hat uses four mini-skeins of MJ Simple Sock, a lightweight fingering yarn. The pattern explains how to manage the four colors of yarn to get continuous spirals without jogs when changing colors. This hat will fit most heads because of the high degree of stretch when using 2x2 ribbing, with comments about pattern adjustment for extra large heads. There are several pictures to illustrate setting up spiral colorwork and changing colors.
