how do you get Pikachu on a bus? Pokemon. ………………Sorry

I recommend using Ladderback Jackard technique to make this hat as there would be a lot of floats to catch in this design if knitted stranded and the contrasting colour can make this hard to hide.

If you’re unsure, this video is the best I’ve seen for detaling:

I have included two versions of the chart. A plain version and a ladderback jackard version, which details the jackard stitches that will be on the needles for the colourwork section.

One Size. Hat is made 43cm circumference, to fit children 3+

Hat is made with fingering yarn,
A Dark (25g / 126m / 138yds)
B Light (15g / 63m / 69 yards)
