For my spring beach hat I wanted something light in the colors of the sea, so I chose to knit this hat with stripes. I didn’t have dpns with me, so I knit the hat flat (RS row = knit, WS row = purl) and sewed it together. Colors as follows, indicated in rows instead of rounds.

Color A: Juniper
Color B: Blue Spruce
Color C: Banyon
Color D: Eleuthera

Stripe Color repeat:

• Starting with Color A, knitting 6 rows
• Color B: 4 rows
• Color C: 3 rows
• Color D: 2 rows
• Color C: 3 rows
• Color B: 4 rows

Repeat color repeat 3 times, ending with 6 rows of Color A (= ca. 8.5” or 21 cm).

Knit decreases as indicated in pattern only in Color A. Sew hat together according to your head size.
