The Real Christmas Hat
This stylish hat is expertly crafted in the round, starting with cozy ribbing and culminating in an eye-catching top. Featuring a beautiful blend of easy stranded colorwork, this pattern invites you to play with a delightful array of 7 different colors. While the pattern is designed for one size, you'll appreciate the flexibility it offers, as the circumference can be easily adjusted thanks to a repeating chart that allows for personalization.
To create this lovely hat, you'll need 4 mm/ US6 needles—both a 40cm (16 inches) circular needle and double-pointed needles (DPNs) for finishing touch. This combination ensures a seamless and professional-looking finish.
