Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this fun hat uses multiple colorways of self-striping yarn, adding a delightful touch to your winter wardrobe. The brim features the colorways held together, which not only doubles the thickness for extra warmth but also gives it a unique, folded-up look that is both functional and fashionable. You can even choose to fold up the brim for an added layer of coziness during those chilly days!

While the overall design is simple, it includes thoughtful details that elevate this knitting project. You can opt for a 2-color cast-on, making your hat truly one-of-a-kind. Additionally, this pattern introduces an interesting method for increasing the stitch count from the brim to the body, resulting in a beautifully rounded crown that perfectly complements the hat's overall design. Throughout the body and crown, the self-striping yarns are knitted in one-row stripes, making this a captivating project that’s hard to put down. You’ll find yourself eagerly anticipating the next stripe, which adds an element of surprise and excitement to your knitting experience!
