MATERIALS
These hats were made using leftover balls of acrylic yarn in my stash. Any worsted weight acrylic yarn will work great. If you're using leftovers for a two-color hat, you will need approximately 150 yds/135m (single strand) of each color.
Suggested materials:
- Red Heart Super Saver [100% acrylic; 170yd/155m per 85g skein]
- [MC] Cherry Red #319; 1 skein

GAUGE
15 sts/28 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch
PATTERN NOTES
Each time you change colors, bring the new color to the front and over the old color to create a neat, consistent border along the bottom edge of the hat. Add more colors for a more creative colorway.
Unlike many patterns that use short rows, it is not necessary to wrap the yarn around the stitch at the turning point when working these short rows. When it is time to turn the work around and work back in the other direction, the instructions will simply say "turn".
The longtail cast on is used for this pattern. If you are unfamiliar with this technique, excellent instructions can be found here.
This pattern is worked with two strands of yarn held together throughout.
