Notes

My sister has a hat need!

And this hat suits everyone who’s tried it so far!

I made this from oddments of 4ply soft.

I worked out the pattern repeat on paper and carried the unused yarns up the side of the work to minimise ends where they would be at the correct end for the next row in that colour.

Hardest part was sewing up accurately so the stripes didn’t jog.
