Sunday Morning Hat
A serious stash buster, this squishy texture is fun and engaging to knit!

-The pattern includes instructions for 2 weights of yarn: DK and Aran.

-Each weight includes 3 sizes, which cover everyone on your knit list.

-Two brim options are included as well: classic ribbed brim, and a folded brim for extra squish and warmth.

-The hat is cast on at the brim and worked in the round to the crown. Tailored, spiral decreases shape the crown.

I had so much fun mixing, matching and marling yarns for these hats! As a serious sock knitter I know I have tons of 45g balls of sock weight yarn hanging out. I held 3 strands together for my aran weight hat and just love how it turned out.

Full instructions are included, tips and tutorial links, picture help on how to measure gauge, guidance on finishing and yarn combination ideas!

I hope you love this pattern as much as I do! I think it just became my go to gift knit!
