Pixelated Hat is worked seamlessly in a stranded colorwork pattern that shifts background color and contrast color for a unexpected color block effect. Knit the folded ribbed version of this slouchy hat for double warmth, or choose the contrast brim version for an extra kick of color.

This pattern is included in the Pixelated Accessories Collection Ebook. Those who have already purchased one (or two!) of the patterns will be able to purchase the book for the price of $7.25 or ($3.50). Promo code “One” (“Two”)
