Want a pop of colour? Here it is! I had fun with this hat until I saw how many ends I was going to have to weave in :) I discovered that a small crochet hook or miniature latch hook both made the job quicker than a tapestry needle.

I also JUST went into the second ball of black (in the cast-off round) so if I was to do this pattern again, I would probably substitute the first 8 black squares with another colour like purple.
