PATTERN NOTES
• Hat is worked in the round, from the bottom up.
• Directions are written for the smallest size, with the larger sizes in parentheses, where necessary. If only one number exists, it applies to all sizes.
• Any time you are changing colors, if you are carrying them up, be sure to pick the new color up from behind the old color, crossing the two colors over one another to prevent any holes.
• During the striped sections you are free to carry yarns up loosely or cut leaving a 6” tail between color changes.
