Out-of-the-blue hat

**Pattern Story: Effortless Colourwork Hat** If you're a fan of vibrant colorwork but find traditional techniques like Fair Isle overwhelming, you're in for a treat! As someone passionate about knitting and particularly enchanted by shades of blue, I faced the same dilemma. Attempting to knit with two strands at once left me feeling defeated. Determined to create a beautiful design that could capture the essence of colorwork without the complexity, I experimented with numerous swatches. After much trial and error, I developed this delightful slipped stitch pattern that allows you to achieve a stunning look using just one yarn strand at a time! This unique hat pattern is knitted seamlessly in the round, making it a straightforward project that yields impressive results. The slipped stitch technique not only simplifies the colorwork process but also creates a beautifully textured finish that will make your hat stand out. Plus, it's perfect for using up leftover yarn, so you can enjoy sustainability while expressing your creativity. **Yarn Requirements: Cascade 220** - Cobalt Heather: 70g (70g, 80g) - Colorway 9457 - Colonial Blue: 15g (15g, 20g) - Colorway 9326 - Grey: 10g (10g, 15g) - Colorway 8509 - Navy: 10g (10g, 15g) - Colorway 8393 This hat design is ideal for knitters of all skill levels.
