This easy-to-knit hat makes fun use of multiple colorways of self-striping yarn, either worsted weight or sock yarn held double. The brim starts with all strands held together, doubling the thickness, so it acts almost like a folded-up brim. Then the body and crown are made with the worsted weight.

While the design is simple, thoughtful details include an optional 2-color cast on, an interesting method for increasing from the brim to the body stitch count, and a rounded crown. Throughout the body and crown, the self-striping yarns are worked in one-row stripes, which makes the knitting hard to put down as you’ll keep wanting to see what’s gonna stripe next!
