This pattern is included for free with my workshop called Colorplay the Westknits Way: Marling. This online workshop is available to purchase on westknits.com and you can watch it at any time at your own pace.

This brimmed hat is a quick and easy stashbuster. Hold two strands throughout the entire hat to use lots of leftover bits of fingering weight yarn. The ribbed brim keeps your ears toasty warm while the moss stitch fabric displays all your favorite colors. Instructions include tips on marling and how to get a beautifully blended fabric. Dive into your stash and melt colors together for this beginner friendly hat.
