My first sample for the October Stockpile Designer Challenge in the Malabrigo Junkies group.

The challenge is to design something to be made in one skein of highly varigated colourway in Malabrigo yarn. This one weighs 66g, the heaviest of my samples, hence I recommend 2/3 of skein or 140 yards / 128m

This hat is shaped with short rows which prevent the colour pooling problem that is often found with varigated yarns.

Thanks to my three wonderful testers:

QAGEEK’s test Knit for SharonB

megrknits’s Ponytail Hat
