This hat was designed to use a gradient yarn, pulling one strand from the inside of the cake and one strand from the outside. The colors meld together and meet in the middle for a pretty marled gradient.

You could swap 2 strands of fingering weight held together for a strand of fingering + a strand of mohair, or 1 strand of DK weight.

The hat is finished off with a funky 3-needle bind off technique, tucked and stitched into a 3D closure at the top.
