Colorblock Hat

If you've ever wanted to try stranded colorwork but felt intimidated by intricate designs, this pattern is for you!

The simple motif offers a great introduction to colorwork but is still a creative playground for more experienced colorwork knitters. The hat is intended for DK- or light worsted-weight yarn and is sized for an adult head (approximate circumference of 18-20"), with notes about adapting the pattern to other weights of yarn.
In total, this hat can be completed with approximately 150 yards of yarn, or 60 grams.
