The Rhon hat, colorfully orchestrated and a joy to knit and to wear. A sharp rib pattern starts this project, followed by a dramatic hexagon pattern, an easy stranded design and the crown gets evenly decreased, which adds a nice flair all around the hat.

This is a great gift idea for anyone on your list this year. As shown here the hat was knitted with a Yarnz2go knit kit and they come in colors suitable for the whole family in fun light tones to more masculine and unisex color combos. The written and charted pattern offers various sizing options.
From child 19”, teen 20”, small/medium adult 22” to large 23” in circumference.

I paired my hat here with my Binault poncho and cowl, together they make a striking and cozy set. All are knitted with the same yarn~

Yarn used as shown
A mini skein knit kit in a soft Bambon yarn, a blend of bamboo and cotton. Four portions of 46 yards in a super soft DK weight, enough to knit even the biggest size.
