Honey Striped Hat

*Choose three colors of DK weight yarn to knit this slip stitch hat. Begin with a ribbed brim and then work stripes and slipped stitches to form the bold honeycombs. Only one strand of yarn is used at a time for a deceptively simple textured effect. Pop a pom pom on it and enjoy your new Westknits hat!* **Finished Measurements** 20” / 51cm brim circumference (un-stretched). 9” / 23cm from brim to top of hat when the brim is folded.
