Crossed Furrows Hats
Designed to use the leftovers from the Crossed Furrows Cowl, although any yarns will do! This cozy hat pattern includes instructions for both a two-colour and a three-colour version, and both slouchy and beanie styles. The colour work is simple: you use only one colour per round and let slipped stitches do the work for you.
Both written and charted instructions are included. There are 7 pages in the pattern, but only two need to be printed per version.

Colour Choices
This pattern provides two options for the brim, a 2-colour and a 3-colour version. For the 3-colour version I recommend choosing a light for Colour A, a dark colour for Colour B, and a medium for Colour C. This shows the stitch pattern to best effect, especially in terms of mimicking a plaid, but enjoy swatching and making your own combinations!
