One hat…endless possibilities! The bean is a two color hat, knit by holding both colors together to form a marled brim and then knitting each color by itself for the stripes. We’ve mixed a fingering weight and sport weight for one version and a then paired a sport and a worsted weight for a bit heftier version!
