Scrappy Plied, Two-Night Strand
This pattern is free as a thank you to everyone who was so supportive this week after I opened up on Instagram about some trauma I recently went through. Knitting has helped me get through some very difficult things, and I am honored to have so many new friends in this fantastic community.
Scrappy Plied, Two-Night Strand.

The Backstory.
The pattern uses one main DK yarn throughout held double with all sorts of yarn scraps to make a beautifully unique scrappy hat!
I give notes to help you navigate color choices and attaching the yarn, as well as instructions on making a big, crazy Pom Pom (and how to attach it). :)

-Us 8 (5 mm) 16” circular needle
-Us 9 (5.5 mm) 16” circular needle and a magic looping (32” or larger circular needle) or double pointed needles for the hat decreases.
-A Large Pom Pom maker.
-A darning needle and 6 stitch markers.
-200 g of yarn:
