If you're a **new knitter** who hasn't yet tackled intarsia techniques, fear not! You can easily use Swiss darning (duplicate stitch) to add the charming badgers onto the hat after the main knitting is complete. This alternative method allows you to create the same fun design without the need for advanced skills.
