Details: My friend Adella prefers to knit patterns that are easy to pick up and put down, that are relaxing on the brain, and chill to knit. I wanted to design something that would fit the bill for anyone with similar sentiments. It was a fun and challenging exercise to keep things simple. LOL! The beauty of this design is that the simple textures are a perfect way to show off a variegated yarn, a solid yarn, or anything in between. You could even bust some stash by using multiple colors because so little yarn is used, just ~1.5 to ~2 oz. This hat is sized for the whole family from child to adult. The ribbed panels allow for plenty of stretch.

The name was inspired by the colorway name Lemon Tart and because I wanted a hat that was easy going I went with the name Not Too Tart.
