This hat is a great way to use up small amounts of fingering weight yarn! Each color is used for 5 stripes - hence the name, Power of Five. It is so much fun to knit as you see the color combinations! In the pictured hat, I used 9 colors of misc fingering weight yarn.

The pattern calls for 25 grams each of nine colors; however, you could use any number of colors. And if you are using 25 grams of nine colors, you will definitely have leftovers to use in a 2nd hat.

Please do a gauge swatch! I cannot guarantee the fit of the hat if you do not get the recommended gauge.
