DISCOUNT PRICE ON PURCHASE OF ALTERNATE HAT WITH COORDINATING MERGE SCARF PATTERN - Buy both patterns for 20% off.

A fun companion to the Merge Scarf, the Alternate Hat features the same plush texture with the three bright accents alternating around the brim. Its also just as happy on its own stealing the limelight with its whimsical multicolor pompom.

The Alternate Hat is an advanced beginner pattern that works up quickly in worsted weight yarn using one skein of the main color and only 25 yards of each of the accents, making it a great stash buster. The hat is worked flat and then stitched together down the back.

The pattern includes access to videos demonstrating the special stitch, special stitch decrease, and the pompom technique.
