I didn’t set out to make this happen look like an Easter egg, it just kind of happened! I was trying to use up all of the pastels in one go, and it ended up looking better than expected. The pop of bright purple right above the ribbing really makes this hat for me, making it look really fun and cute. I knit this hat in wool tapestry yarn I found out the thrift store. The yarn is worsted weight yarn more suitable for outerwear than next to the skin, but that will make the hat quite sturdy and warm, perfect for someone who is outside a lot. The ribbing would’ve looked better if I switch to smaller needles to work the ribbing, or increased a few stitches before working the body of the hat.
