Hakea Hat

Hakea Hat is a fun way to play with colour. The contrasting slip stitch sections are easy to work; a single colour per round produces dramatic results. Use a colour-change yarn or make a scraptastic version by using those tiny leftovers you've been saving from a favourite project. Either way you'll whiz through each round to get to the next colour and have a gorgeous hat in no time. The slip stitch pattern reminds me of the spiky flowers of the Hakea plant, an Australian native of which there are many varieties. It's well worth a google search if you are unfamiliar with these beautiful plants.

For the optional scraptastic version, use up small leftovers for each CC section. You’ll need approximately 9 (10, 11) yd/9 (10, 10) m for each of the CC sections.
