Ochoco Hat (and Headband) is written for both DK and Worsted weight yarns.

Ochoco Hat is a cozy and squishy hat with easy textured stitch pattern, a double brim, and countless color options. You can choose to make a headband, or a hat with either a stockinette or 1x1 ribbed body.

The hat is truly unisex, is offered in four sizes, and is written for both DK and Worsted yarns. Circumference of hat and headband, and height of hat, are easily adjusted (instructions are included). Size will vary depending on yarn weight and gauge.

Add a pom pom to top off the hat if you wish. Check out the color scheme options in the pattern photos.

Instructions are both written and charted. This pattern has been professionally tech-edited.
