The Staccato hat is a warm and stylish beanie that employs the intriguing technique of assigned pooling.

Assigned Pooling occurs when a change in texture is isolated within a specific color range in a skein of variegated yarn. In this instance, the 2x2 ribbing is assigned to the main color, which produces a structured backdrop for the giant nupps assigned to the accent color.

Staccato knits up lightning-fast in just one skein of Madelinetosh’s super bulky ASAP base, so it’s perfect for gift knitting.

Yarn:​​ One skein of Madelinetosh ASAP in any Madtosh X Barker Wool collab colorway.
