Pattern Features:

Page 5 is a condensed version of the pattern if you want to save paper and only print one page and mark off your rows as you go.

There are 6 color changes in the pattern, but that doesn’t mean you need 6 different colors of yarn. In fact I encourage you to repeat colors.* A coloring sheet is provided so you can map out the order of color changes/repeats. A sample graphic of six color combos to illustrate the variety of options you have for repeating colors.

• Tips for picking four colors for your hat are also included.
