NOTES - You can make two hats with the yarn required for this project! For the first hat, choose your main color and contrast color and use Colorwork Pattern A. For the second hat, switch the two colors and use - You will use every bit of both skeins for this project, so keep your gauge swatch in case you need to unravel it to finish your hat. - Do your gauge swatch over the Colorwork Pattern. Your gauge will be much denser if you re doing colorwork vs. doing regular Stockinette Stitch. - Anytime my contrast color floats behind my main color for more than stitches, I tack down the float. This will come into play when working your crown decreases. Here are some great tips about how to do this technique: https://www.interweave.com/ article/knitting/tacking-down-long-floats/ - I didn t feel the need to block the finished hats, so all measurements and gauge info is based on an unblocked finished project.
