The Hamar Hat is a bottom-up, two-color hat, with a folded brim. It is knitted in the round with a dot stitch pattern which is created by knitting the colours separately and slipping stitches. The hat is a perfect stash-busting project because of the small amounts of yarn that is used. The contrast colour can be switched out for multiple colours, or the hat can be knitted in one colour.
