I designed Level Up to be a super-customizable accessory for you and your mini-me with a range of color combos depending on what yarn you have on hand. Written for child and adult sizes, this pattern invites you to choose two or more colors and get to work on each “level” of your hat. The middle color of each diamond shape becomes the outer part of the shape as you level up, making it so much fun to see the design build as you knit. I hope you have the best time with this one, my friends!
