Fogtown Hats use a sport-weight wool yarn in 2 or more colors. Long interval self-striping yarns work very well in this design. While 2 colors is a minimum, you can use more than 1 main color and/or contrast color as long as there is sufficient contrast. This design includes 2 options for the colorwork pattern just above the ribbing.

The pattern is written for 4 sizes, Extra-Small to Large. The size range fits from Baby through Adult Large sizes. Choose a size with 1 to 2 inches of negative ease for a snug fit.
This pattern is one of 5 in the Fogtown Set: Hat, Mittens, Mitts, Socks and Cowl.
