Short Stack Hat

Playing with minis is as easy as it is fun in this quick knit! Choose up to four colors that coordinate with one main color, then create quick stacks of stockinette, separated by rumble strips of twisted ribbing. The twisted ribbing continues around the crown of this design, culminating in a starburst of texture. The perfect lightweight accessory for those chilly days, you’ll want to knit one for every outfit! Pair with the Short Stack Mitts to complete the look!
