Cornish Sun is a cozy, chunky colourwork hat that knits up in no time: one night, one hat!
It is worked in the round from the brim to the crown and features easy stranded colourwork where only 2 of the 4 colours are used at a time.
The pattern offers guidance for 3 different colour combinations so that you can make the most of the 4 skeins required to achieve the colourwork.
Your holiday season knitting is sorted!

Pattern includes colourwork charts and full written instructions for all 3 options of colourwork.
