Choose two colors of DK weight yarn for this reversible hat pattern. The main color is knit first in a waffle stitch pattern for the outer layer of the hat. Then, pick up sts along the cast on edge with a contrast color and knit the inner layer in stockinette stitch. The inner layer peeks around the brim when you wear the hat with the waffle stitches on the outside or wear the hat inside out for a color pop effect. Fold the brim for an extra warm layer. This pattern is beginner friendly and utilizes single skeins of DK weight yarn like West Wool Tandem.
