This hat is made with DK yarn, with a pattern created for a main colour and two contrast, with an alternative for main and four contrasts. Only a little yarn is needed for the stripes, but I do recommend using the same brand and fibre yarn for this, so the gauge remains the same through the colour changes.

Details are given for two different sizes, for 18” circumference and 20” circumference. With is being DK yarn the stripes are notable and give an interesting feature, and as the pattern is otherwise simple the hat can be completed in one or two evenings, depending on your knitting experience.

As always I write these patterns so that they are available for the earliest of knitters- the hat has a seam. If you wish to leave this and work on circular needles without the seam the pattern is very easily adaptable.
