Powder days

For pattern support, please find the questions thread [here][1] *Powder days* is a casual hat, worked in the round from the brim to the top. The cute pattern on this hat is knitted with only one color on any given round. Working slip stitches, and the “magical” k1-uls result in a beautiful all over textured colorwork pattern, making it a perfect introduction to colorwork. Crown decreases are worked in pattern. An optional pompom is worked last. **this cute little hat will be a fantastic last minute gift - promise** (some testers finished their hat within .. 1 day ) **Yarn** Worsted weight yarn, approximately MC: 136 (153, 165) yds \[124 (140, 151) m] CC: 30 (42, 44) yds \[27 (38, 40) m] Note: Yardage doesn't include optional pompom.
