By now you’ve seen the mittens. Those cozy, oversized, made from old sweaters mittens donned by Bernie Sanders and made famous on inauguration day. They quickly took over the internet, turned into meme after meme, and many a fiber artist scrambled to recreate them. But what are mittens without a matching hat? Enter, the Feel the Bern Hat!

This quick knit hat uses worsted weight yarn and basic colorwork in 4 colors. Don’t let the 4 colors intimidate you, you are only ever working with 2 of the colors at one time! And no fancy carrying is needed, just pick up the color you need when you need it.
