I’ve developed a bit of a love for stranded knitting and thought I would try a hat that would mimic my son’s favorite character. The hat uses several colors (as many as four) in a row, with a few long runs. I can’t promise you won’t start questioning your life choices halfway through this hat while trying not to tangle 4 strands of yarn (I certainly did), but I promise that if you persevere that you, and the intended wearer, will be happy with the results!
