Notes: This slouchy stranded colourwork hat is knit in the round from brim to crown. It begins with a contrast cast-on that edges a black ribbed band, followed by simple repetitious colourwork. Only 2 colours are ever stranded in the same round. Crown decreases begin after the colourwork is complete, and line up with the colour bars. An optional pompom with various style instructions tops off the hat.
