The Friendship Hat, inspired by friendship bracelets, is a great hat to use a DK yarn stash! The main color (MC) requires most of a skein of Rowan Felted Tweed, but the remaining five colors only use about 20 yds (18 m).

This hat is great for folks looking for a colorwork challenge, and it is not recommended for folks new to colorwork. Most of the colorwork rows are 2 or 3 colors at a time, but a few rows have 4 colors at once.
