Appalachian Trail Hat
by Mat Kladney
This pattern is available as a
free Ravelry download
This pattern is a great introduction to stranded knitting. There aren’t any long floats and the pattern is easily adaptable to many color mixes - there are four alternative palettes included in the free PDF. This pattern is infinitely customizable!
Additionally, the pattern also includes an alternative “straight” crown - by alternating decreases with SSK/K2tog you create 8 straight decreases instead of the usual spiral found in most patterns. You can use either crown and will end up with a great hat.
You’ll want to be comfortable with knitting in the round, but is a great first stranded project for someone looking to try something new. For the hat on display you’ll want 75y of the main color and 37y each of two additional colors.
