Four Keeps

I designed Four Keeps as a beginner-friendly colorwork pattern that uses four skeins of yarn to create at least four hats with easy four-stitch repeats! And even though four colors are used in the design, you only work with two colors at any given time. Enjoy knitting up multiple versions of this baby, changing the look of each hat you make simply by switching the order of the colors you use. Whatever combo you pick, you’ll be able to create your own custom beauties with this pattern! Gift some if you want, but definitely save one for yourself—for keeps! **Materials Needed**: Super Bulky/Size 6 yarn in four contrasting colors—approximately 74 yds (68 m) total **Color A**: 28 yds (26 m) **Color B**: 23 yds (21 m) **Color C**: 15 yds (14 m) **Color D**: 8 yds (8 m) US 13 (9 mm) 16” (40 cm) circular knitting needles, or size needed to meet gauge US 15 (10 mm) 16” (40 cm) circular knitting needles, or size needed to meet gauge US 15 (10 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) or circular knitting needles with a longer cord for Magic Loop method, or size needed to meet gauge Scissors Stitch marker Tapestry needle Pattern also available at **www.flynnknit.com** Portrait Photography Credit: Memory Lanes Photography
