Edit (Nov. 2019): This pattern has been re-released on The Craft Lizard blog to make the pattern available again.

The Subalpine Prance Hat is the third colourwork hat designed for Olann and by Elizabeth Greenfield. Bands of different pattern require you to keep a better eye on the chart and your knitting.

Our samples have both been knitted using two different colours of yarn, but the Subalpine Prance Hat design would also look fabulous in more colours, just remember to use high contrast shades to better show off the designs.
