This hat is designed to showcase all the different colors of the gradient set in a beautiful sequence that reminds the dance of colors in a black opal.
Even if it’s designed with a gradient set in mind it’s perfectly possible to use one CC only, in a solid or gradient or even self striping colorway to knit this hat.
