Arcs of ribbing and seed-stitch sprinkles decorate this cute beanie, which can be topped with a pompom or left plain if you prefer.

A one-skein project, Rainbow Cake features simple textures which complement speckled and gently-variegated yarn, making it a perfect project for that pretty single skein in your stash. I got some cool colour-pooling happening in the smaller hat!

Two sizes are included, for children and adults.

Skills needed include knit and purl stitches, simple lace, and knitting in the round. Both charts and full written instructions are provided.
