This fun colorwork hat has so many options for customization! Change the length, decide how you want to work the brim, add a pom-pom, play with a different color every row and use up your fingering-weight yarn leftovers.

This pattern includes both a colorwork chart at the end AND also step-by-step photos for each row to help guide you through the color changes. If you would one day like to make a more complicated project like the Saint-Malo Pullover, try making the crown of this hat from the colorwork charts alone, as the process will be similar to how you will approach making the pullover.
