This pattern was inspired by a collection of single and part skeins of all the colours of yarn in my stash making it perfect for using up those individuals that insist on multiplying while you’re not looking.

Knit in the round from crown to brim, the pattern includes full written instructions as well as charts of the colour work portion making it suitable for all knitters who are comfortable knitting in the round.

Instructions in 3 sizes – relaxed approximate measurements are:
Hat Length as written – S 18cm/7½ inches, M 19.5cm/7¾ inches L 20cm/8 inches
Circumference – S -40 cm/16 inches, M -45 cm/18 inches, L -50 cm/20 inches
The large size comfortably fits my 23 inch head
Length is customisable but may impact yarn requirement

If using 2 colours the large size easily works with 90 metres/97 yards of the main colour and 80 metres/85 yards of the contrast.
The small size requires 70 metres/75 yards of the main colour and 60 metres/65 yards of the contrast.

If using 3 or more colours smaller amounts of each colour are required.
The orange/green/brown example is the large size and used 80 metres/85 yards orange, 70 metres/75 yards green and 20 metres/22 yards brown.

The pattern has been successfully test knit - Thank you ladies.
