Particpate in Discovery hat pattern

This is a pattern for a beanie style hat worked in the round and using the stranded colourwork technique. This hat has a deep rib so you may fold the brim if you like!

There is a ‘hat body’ chart and a crown shaping chart. Both charts are shown in grey-scale.

Also included are instructions for a tassel, a leaf, and a flower, if you would like to embellish your hat, but you may leave it as is OR add a pom-pom. You may also add Duplicate Stitch and/or embroidery elements as seen in the sample.
