The Double Rainbow Hat is a quick and easy genderless design made to show off the fun properties of space-dyed yarn, especially the rainbow magic of our shop-exclusive colorway from The Lemonade Shop. Wear it as a right-side out slouchy hat to show off the rainbow bits and a 3x1 ribbed hem detail, or turn it inside out and/or fold the brim to show off a different ribbing style and a body texture full of double rainbows!
