The Tucson Hat pattern works best in a two colours of sport weight yarn in differing values. Here, I used a dark, evergreen green as the main colour, and a brighter, lighter green as the contrast colour.

Even though this hat is knit in sport weight yarn, the foldover brim and the double layer of yarn in the colourwork ensures that it will be warm.

The Tucson Hat pattern is multi-sized, so there are directions to fit toddlers, children, and adults.
