This hat is designed to be slouchy, but can be made as a beanie if preferred.

It has a simple band of colourwork using 3 contrasts, but also works well with a single contrast.

The brim is done on 3mm needles, the plain sections on 3.25mm and the stranded section on 3.5mm. The largest size uses less than 50g of the main colour and less than 20g of the three contrasts in total.
