Larch is a stretchy, ribbed, color-blocked hat that is suitable for men and women. It’s an easy, rhythmic knit that’s great when you have multiple balls of leftover yarn that aren’t quite enough for an entire hat on their own. Star-shaped crown decreases finish the hat off neatly.

Because of the amount of stretch in the twisted ribbing, Larch is an excellent hat for gifting, as it will fit most heads comfortably.
This pattern is easy and quick, and suitable for beginning knitters.
