Construction: If you have ever wanted to make an adult sized hat from those yarns that come with the fun character hat toppers, this free chevron pattern uses a coordinating solid to supplement the variegated yarn for a warm, comfy hat. This is a variation of my Chevron Stripes pattern (also free, available at www.theknitmckinley.com) with different decreases and a long brim intended to be folded over.

Skills needed: knitting and purling in the round, m1, and center double decreases.
