It’s World Cup 2018! Choose your team’s colors and knit a hat—or several hats! You can take your inspiration from your country’s flag, or get creative and use colors from your team’s jersey, home or away. The National 11 pattern gives instructions for two styles—slouchy and less slouchy—and two color placements. Goooooaaaalllll!!!

And yeah, I know the Netherlands didn’t make it to the World Cup this year, but I knit an Oranje hat anyway.

Yardage used:
A (main color): Approximately 150 yards
