Highlighter Hat

Highlighter Hat is made of fun color blocks in three contrasting colors. Alternating sections of stockinette and an easy slipped-stitch pattern make this a quick and enjoyable knit. The hat is available in two styles: a closer-fitting beanie and a more relaxed, slouchy style.

With or without a pom pom? Why not try both: the pattern includes a photo-tutorial for making a three-color removable pom pom.
