Fractured Fairy Tale Hat

Worked in the round from the brim to the crown in sportweight yarn, the hat uses stranded colorwork in 2 colors. Choose either a short ribbing, or a deeper ribbing that can be folded either under or upward (to keep your ears warmer). An optional pompom adds to the fun.

Notes for Sizing: Because stranded colorwork does not stretch as much as ribbed patterns or single-color stockinette stitch, I recommend choosing a size that is larger than the circumference of the wearer’s head. For example, the model’s head measures to 20”, and is wearing the size small (which measures to 23”). Hats for those with larger noggins should make the size medium, or size up by using a heavier weight yarn such as light-worsted.
