The Candy Cluster Hat features spike clusters to add texture and a pop of colour. Testers found this to be an intermediate pattern, but an adventurous beginner would do okay after figuring out the cluster stitches. 4 pages of photos are dedicated at the end of the pattern to help step-by-step with certain areas that may be tricky to master at first.

This hat is worked in two colours of worsted weight yarn with options for a fitted beanie and a slouchy hat.
