Two simple men’s hat patterns that work up quickly and are great for donating to shelters and organizations that help the needy. Caron One Pound is a thicker worsted weight yarn, so keep that in mind if you decide to substitute. The solid colored hat comes in 5 sizes, and the multi-colored hat comes in 2 sizes.
