Stranded Diamonds Hat
Crisp, modern colorwork diamonds on an Aran-weight hat that knits up quickly in sizes for the whole family. Let the Merry Making begin!
Notes
Swatch both St st and Stranded St st since gauge may differ; adjust needle as needed.
To adjust hat depth, work more or fewer ribbing and/or St st rnds before and after the Colorwork Chart.
If using a different needle size or an alternate yarn, the ribbed brim should be worked on a needle one size smaller than the size used for the St st sections to ensure a snug fit around the brim.
