The Navigator Slouch would make a perfect first stranded colorwork project. I have included tips and links to make your project a success, from choosing a color combo to various methods of holding your yarn. The hat is also a relaxing knit for those with some stranded colorwork under their belt and makes a great quick gift for toddlers through adults!

The main stitch pattern reminded me of compasses, and this hat will help guide your way through the cold winter :-)

This pattern has been tested and approved, and I offer full pattern support via ravelry message.
