Starting from a corrugated rib and knit with a solid DK and a striping DK this hat is a fun knit. The colours change as you knit and there are no extra ends to weave in! A fabulous slouchy hat is the end result.

Notes and tips on how to knit corrugated ribbing and stranded color work are included in the pattern.

The charts are not coloured – symbols are used to detail the pattern. Why not photocopy and colour it the charts – and knit it more traditionally with a variety of solid coloured yarns, changing colours to highlight the pattern details. Stash busting at its best!
