Yo-Yo is worked from the top down in continuous spiral rounds. The surface detail is worked after the hat is finished. Watch out – you may not be able to make just one!

The difference between this pattern and the Worsted Yo-Yo pattern is the range of sizes offered and the weight of yarn for which the pattern is designed.

This Yo-Yo was designed with a single-ply aran weight yarn (Debbie Stoller’s Full ‘O Sheep) and in only 2 adult sizes.

My newer pattern, Worsted Yo-Yo, was designed using Knit Picks’ Swish Worsted yarn - a weight and texture that is similar to many other worsted-weight yarns on the market, making it more convenient for many crocheters, particularly those who love to work from the stash ;) I also had numerous requests for baby and child sizes, so I wanted to rework it for everyone.
