This slouchy beanie uses a set of mini skeins to create bands of stranded colorwork in which each color becomes part of the next motif. Use a gradient set or bright contrasting colors to create an infinite number of color combinations and looks.

The pattern includes notes on determining the order of your colors for maximum contrast and on color dominance. The stranded pattern is charted only.
