Sometimes a pattern comes to my mind fully formed. That was the case with this easy colorwork hat. I wanted to use leftovers from previous projects, and I wanted to see large standing stone structures, such as Stonehenge, dancing around my hat. I got so excited about the various possible color combinations that I want to million of them! And now I’ve sized it for bulky. And since this hat comes in eight sizes, you can knit tons of them, too.

What Testers Had to Say:

• “Fun and Fast. Simple design with lots of visual interest. Squishiness of bulky yarn.”
• “Liked learning stranded colorwork, liked that the pattern was relatively easy which made it a good way to try stranded colorwork for the first time.”
• “I liked that I was able to use up small amounts of scrap yarn.”
• “Very striking look for the hat. Love that is offered in so many sizes.”

Skills:
Knitting in the round, twisted ribbing, simple stranded colorwork, k2tog decreases.
