Symphony Hat
Symphony Hat is worked in the round with stranded colourwork technique. The sample is made with 6 colours, but the pattern is easily adjustable for 4, 3 or 2 colours only. Use the blank charts to create your own colour palette. Hat begins with an optional tubular cast on, the crown shaping is partially integrated into the colourwork pattern. Please note that the colourwork pattern is charted only.
