Inspired by the colors and patterns of Delft pottery, this hat incorporates a monochromatic colorway and simple repetitive patterns to evoke the look of this beautiful tradition from the Netherlands. It is topped off by a large multi-colored pom-pom for a dash of whimsy. Make this a stash-busting hat by working it with partially used skeins leftover from other projects.
