This easy hat gets its stripes from self-striping yarn. Easy shaping and simple stitches make it a great “first in-the-round” project for beginners. Option is offered for a child’s or baby’s hat, using same directions but smaller hook and finer yarn, and men’s or women’s large version, using larger hook and chunky yarn. The optional decorative flowers are charted in a later chapter of the book.

Gauge: Rnds 1-6, worked in sc = 3 1/2” diameter.
