This is a VERY quick and easy pattern for a fun and funky, chunky hat. It creates a lacy design with four “petals” or teardrops in relief on the crown. Knit in Malabrigo’s squishy, soft Rasta, and finished off with a playful pompom, this hat snuggles away the cold with panache! Best of all, it uses less than one skein, so it makes a quick and impressive gift for someone you love or an instant-gratification indulgence for yourself.

Gauge is approximately 5.5 sts in 4 inches of stockinette. The diameter of the opening of the finished hat is about 19 inches without stretching at all, and easily accommodates a head circumference up to 25 inches.
