STRAT is a fun slouchy hat with a shaped folded ribbed brim that falls just right.
Richly textured stripes in different colors form the body of the hat.
The stash-busting factor doesn’t hurt either!
Strat uses very small amounts of DK yarn in 6 different colors.
Brim is shaped with short rows so that it is wider in front and narrower at the nape of the neck. It is folded for extra coziness.

Have fun going through your bags of DK leftovers and composing your very own combo!
