RAINBOW HAT
PATTERN
By Carolynn Markey Kitty-ears.com
ShOPPinG LIST
I used Noro "Taiyo" yarn to knit this hat on 6.0mm 15 inch circular needles. My Noro yarn is from Col. 52, Lot A. Any yarn will work that is made for 6.0 mm needles, or multiple yarns in different colors. I switch to size 6 double pointed needles when decreasing. I cut the color if it didn't stop at my next knit or purl section. This will be explained more in the actual pattern section This hat is totally reversible for a different look.
