Peppermint Patrick AHat Pattern by David R Castillo
This hat is an excellent opportunity for using up leftover yarns from sweaters, scarves, mittens - anything that might have left you with that little bit of yarn that seems too much to throw away, but too little to really make anything with on it's own. Gauge: 5 sts/in in stockinette stitch

Pico Accuardi Naturally Dyed in the following colors: Color A: "Stumptown Brown" Color B: "Bleeding Heart" Color C: "Thai Mango" Color D: "Rodger's Midnight Dancing' Color D: "Columbian Sunset" - 16" Circular Needle in size appropriate for gauge (Us7-9) - Set of 4 or 5 Double-Pointed Needles of same gauge as Circular Needle. - Tapestry needle (for finishing work)
