This hat is worked from the bottom up. It can be made in any yarn you can get gauge with: holding multiple strands together, like for the sample, or with a chunky-weight yarn held single. The height can be adjusted by working more or less of the 2-round pattern repeats. The hat is finished with k2tog decreases at the crown.
