Knit in the round with two colors of DK weight yarn, the Rowhouse Hat offers an easy introduction to stranded color knitting. The color motif is worked on a 16-inch circular needle, so there’s no fiddling with dpns while you’re knitting with the two colors. It’s also a great stashbusting project and, with instructions for four sizes, you can make this hat for everyone, from kids to adults.
