Mix it up!! This hat is a perfect little canvas to play with all of those little bits of stashed yarn -- you only need about 20 yds of each color -- the possibilities are endless!! Hold your fingering weight yarns double, or mix in some of those worsted weight scraps you’ve been dying to use. Play around with unexpected combinations and have some fun!!
