Sumac Glass Hat
One of my favorite places near my hometown is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed home built for Susan Lawrence Dana, an heiress and feminist socialite who was known for her spooky séances and love of the occult. Her home is one of the best remaining examples of Wright’s prairie style and in this particular home resides what I believe to be some of his most stunning art glass.
Inspired by the Autumn Sumac window, this slouchy hat (optional Toque) features a Folded/Double Brim and a stranded, 2-color design that can be a great primer project for someone new to charted color work or a quick and engaging weekend knit for the more experienced color-workist. I have also included optional instructions for a Toque version for those who want a shorter, more fitted hat.
I recommend either sport of DK yarn for this hat and give calculations to determine sizing based on the gauge of a swatch. To swatch for this project I recommend knitting the first 20 or so rows of the chart or a 1x1 MC/CC swatch, just so you know how your gauge will differ when using 2 separate colors.

Yardage
I suggest having at least 160yd/150m of MC and 70yd/65m of CC. This will depend on your yarn choice, but this is the maximum yardage you should need for these instructions using the tested yarn combinations.
