Made with wildly colored yarn, an unexpected ribbing, and reverse stockinette, the Winter Carnival Hat is a quick and easy one skein project suitable for beginners familiar with magic loop/knitting in the round. Directions come in three sizes for kids, mom and dad. Contrasting yarn may be used for the ribbing and Pom Pom. Heavy Worsted or Aran Weight yarn will keep ears warm despite the weather and US size 9 needles will result in a completed project nearly as quick as a sled ride down a good size hill.
