Seastago Hat
The Seastago Hat pattern is an engaging project that begins with a handy stretchy cast-on before seamlessly joining in the round. This design features a cozy garter stitch brim worked on smaller needles, followed by an eye-catching stripe sequence executed on larger needles. The hat's crown is skillfully decreased using needles designed for small diameters until only a few stitches remain, at which point the top is cinched up for a polished finish.
In choosing my yarn colors, I opted for blue, black, and green, inspired by the rich tartans associated with my family heritage as well as the vibrant Nova Scotia tartan. When selecting your colors, consider choosing a palette that tells a story of personal significance to you, or delve into your yarn stash and make use of some delightful leftovers! Keep in mind, this pattern beautifully combines light and dark hues, so it is strongly recommended that you test your yarns for colorfastness before commencing your project to ensure long-lasting vibrancy.
