Little Lies is an intermediate stranded colorwork project perfect for using up those little bits of favorite colors you just couldn’t part with. I have shown the Adult S/M using mini skeins, but feel free to bust your stash! This pattern does have longer floats, but I built in some “relief” rows of plain stockinette for a relaxing knitting experience.

Available in Baby, Child, Adult S/M, and Adult L/XL sizes. Baby and Child sizes use one 50 g skein for the main color and 3 mini skeins for the contrast colors. Adult sizes use two 50 g skeins for the main color and 5 mini skeins. My Adult S/M size sample used every bit of one 50 g skein for the main color, so I’m recommending an extra skein for insurance.

I used 16-in (40 cm) circular US size 6 (4 mm) for the ribbing and US size 8 (5 mm) for the body of the hat, plus US size 8 (5 mm) dpns to finish. This pattern is suitable for magic loop if desired.

Happy knitting!
