Take a basic hat pattern, adapt to a snazzy silhouette, add some bobbles, use colorful, thick, luxury yarn (after all, you need less that 175 yards!), and with very little effort you have created a great gift! Give it to yourself, or to your daughter or favorite niece. Better yet, make the companion Yay For Color Fingerless Mitts out of the same ball of yarn and have a matching set!

This pattern comes in one size, suitable to fit a size 21-23” head loosely. To reduce the size and increase the density of the fabric, it can be slightly felted. Directions are in the pattern. Basic knitting skills including knitting in the round, increasing and decreasing will suffice for this project. Directions are included for making bobbles and the I-cord topper.
