This is Hat #1 in our 2023 Holiday Hats KAL going on now in my Criminal Knits…for the Serial Knitter in all of us group. Come join us for all the fun and laughter!

This is a great little unisex beanie with a quirky dropped stitch, that is mildly terrifying but easy to do! It’s also a great pattern for using up some odds and ends in your stash!

Materials:
All yarn is worsted weight you will need five (5) colors as listed below
MC: 1 skein Berroco Ultra Wool 120 yds – I suggest a neutral that makes your CC colors pop – cream, dark gray etc.
If you want to make a pom pom using your MC, you will need more yarn

If you want to make a pom pom using your gradient colors, you will need more yarn
