We have something special for you today – a beautiful new hat pattern! This free knitting pattern comes in 4 sizes – one size for kids, and 3 sizes for adults. This stranded design is easy to work up, and if you have experience knitting in the round and have dabbled in a little colorwork before, then you are going to love this.
Have fun with the colors- you can do the bold high contrast we’ve chosen here, or you could go with a softer palette choice using greys and pastels.

Pattern
Using Light Blue, cast on 144 (156, 168, 180) stitches, place stitch marker, and join for working in the round. Work *k1, p1* ribbing for 1.25 inches.
All sizes:
Knit one round in white yarn. Then work rounds 2-11 of chart (which repeats across the round) for a total of 4 times. At this point, your hat should be approx. 6 inches from cast on. If you would like a longer/slouchier hat, work more repeats of rounds 2-11 here as desired. If you are satisfied with the length, work rounds 12-20 of the chart to prepare for the crown shaping.
Round 1: *k10, k2tog*, repeat from * to end of round.

Round 3: *k8, k2tog*, repeat from * to end of round.
