Discover the charm of this simple yet stylish color work hat design, expertly crafted for Our Back 40 Alpaca Yarn Company. This trendy hat not only showcases your knitting skills but also provides warmth and comfort, making it an essential accessory for any wardrobe.

Important Note: The sport weight yarn from Our Back 40 is more akin to a fingering weight yarn. For this project, I held the yarn doubled throughout, allowing it to knit up to a cozy worsted weight gauge. If you're looking to create the same stunning hat, feel free to substitute any worsted weight yarn you have on hand—or even some fingering weight yarn held doubled to achieve the same gauge!

For this hat, you'll need approximately 100 yards each of a Main Color and a Contrast Color in worsted weight yarn. Keep in mind that you'll require less yarn for the Contrast Color (CC) to achieve the delightful design.

This unisex hat pattern is versatile and designed to fit children, teens, and adults alike. Its stretchy nature ensures a comfortable fit for everyone, making it a great choice for family and friends. Whether you're making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this hat is sure to impress!

Want to add a personal touch? Consider adding a pom-pom to the top of your finished hat! You can wear the ribbed brim cuffed for a classic beanie look or un-cuffed for a more relaxed, slouchy style. The styling possibilities are endless!

Enjoy the knitting process and the satisfaction that comes with creating something beautiful and functional.
Happy Knitting!
