Want to knit a quick, interesting brim-up hat for blustery days? The changing stripe pattern allows you to put two contrasting colors together - the brim should be the color that best compliments the wearer’s face or eyes. I’ve included an option to graft the top closed: using Kitchener stitch here is unusual, but it added nice visual interest at the crown.

ETA: To make the stripes stack up properly at the color-change, try Meg Swanson’s classic jogless jog or one of these 2 methods from TECHknitting.2
