This colorwork hat in three sizes (small/medium/large) uses everyone’s favorite—mosaic stitch patterns—to create a composition of lively motifs from brim to peak. Work in a two-tone palette for crisply-defined contrast or mix a solid with a gradient for more subtle, ever-changing effects. Deceptively easy to work using just one strand per round, this project is a great option for colorwork beginners and amusing fun for experienced knitters.
