Baby Cocktails Prickly Pear Hats are simple colorwork
hats you’ll want to knit up for everyone in the family. These two hats were
designs to go together but don’t feel matched. The use of reverse colors, sharp
angles in both chevrons and diamonds, and a liberal smattering of small dots
keep these two designs feeling like cousins. Still, they are actually very
different—and both are super quick and fun to make. The hats are knit in the round
from the bottom brim to the crown. The colorwork patterns are in chart form
only.
