Instructions
Notes: · Carry strands up the inside when you can for fewer strands to weave in at the end · Change colours one half-step prior to the next rnd for a smoother transition · Insert hook through both loops unless otherwise stated · If you choose to line your hat with fleece, make your hat a size bigger than you need and measure the fleece around your head and not against the hat
