Gradient is a long, slouchy beanie where the main color easily transitions into a contrasting color through colorwork. Perfect as the highlight of your outfit on a cold winter’s day!

This pattern comes with written instructions for the ribbing and the shaping for the top of the hat. The colorwork portion is explained through a chart, and the given gauge makes a hat with a 19 inch circumference. It’s a pretty easy pattern if you’re familiar with colorwork, and also quite warm due to the double thickness from two strands of yarn. Enjoy!
