Using this pattern you will be able to make a warm hat with a beautiful colorwork pattern in a size that will fit the standard adult head circumference. The hat is worked bottom up in rounds starting with the rib, then a contrast color is added and the colorwork pattern is worked. After that, the stitches are decreased and the crown is finished. A pom pom can be made at the end.
