The stitch pattern on this hat is such a delight to work! And it knits up fast using bulky yarn; several of the test knitters finished their hats in less than a day. A great showcase for multicolored yarn, this will also look great with solid/ tonal yarn. The pattern includes sizing for kids and adults. It is a beginner-friendly pattern.
