This is a perfect way to use up leftover yarn from other projects.
I had just finished a mitred square afghan and was wondering how those squares would look on a hat.

The mitred squares, which are easy to knit, will give your hat a very unique look.

This pattern has been test knitted and proofread. It also includes the instructions on how to knit the mitred squares.

SIZES

Yarn Requirements

11 different colours of sport yarn

These are just approximations. Total yarn usage will depend on the yarn you use.

The hat has 10 mitred squares and you can choose to use as few or as many colour as you have in your stash.
