Tell everyone about your passion, in a subtle, yet unapologetic way. Be proud that you run.

This hat is knit in the round, using four colors. You don’t need much of any color, so use up your scraps, in whatever colors strike your fancy.

You need approximately 125 yds of Color A (Blue), 85 yds of Color B (Yellow), and 40 yds each of Colors C and D (Red and White).

I chose to use blue and gold, as a tribute to the Boston Marathon, and the runners who were not able to finish the 2013 race. The red and white that I used represent the people who rushed to the aid of those who were hurt, as well as the Canadians who were at the race, running, or cheering on the runners.
