MALABRIGO MOTLEY
By Hannah Ingalls After years of knitting 150-yard hats out of the kind of yarn that comes in ${200+}$ yard skeins, I had more than a few leftovers. I decided to make a quick, zippy hat out of my remainders, and so Malabrigo Motley was born. This is a great pattern for experimenting with color, so poke around and see what you've got. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Join for working in the round, place marker, and begin working from chart. It may be helpful to place additional markers (every 14 stitches) to keep chart repeats separate. After final round of chart is complete, 12 stitches remain. Break yarn, draw through remaining stitches and pull tight.
