Agate Beach Hat

The texture used on Agate Beach lends itself really well to collecting and combining colors. While written for 3 colors, you can easily use as few as 2 colors or as many as you like, changing yarn every 2 rows. This would be a great option for a 20 g mini set or scraps. Gather your favorite fingering weight yarns and create your own collection.
