This hat is knit from the brim to the crown using fingering weight yarn. It features a Garter Stitch brim, a beautifully textured brioche body and some quick decreases for the crown that leave the perfect spot for a brightly coloured pom-pom.

Yarn: For this design, we artfully combined a medley of mini skeins and hues, transitioning the main color every alternate row. Nevertheless, we encourage you to tailor the color palette to your preference, using as many or as few shades as you desire.
