Just as the name of the pattern suggests, make this hat “anyway you want it.”

A fun project turning a basic beanie style into something unique. Just pull out your basket of leftover balls of yarn. Pick the colors at random, or mix and match until you get the look you want. Change colors as often as you like.

The hat begins with simple k2,p2 ribbing. Then turn to the 21-round chart with an 8-stitch repeat. Of the 21 rounds, 19 rounds are stranded.

Then you finish the hat like any other basic beanie.

I made 4 versions of this hat using 100% superwash wool and US 06 needles.
