Ombré Shells Hat

Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.

Two strands of yarn held together create a tweedy, ombré look. Highlight your favorite color in a group of three choices with a wide hat band. A simple shell stitch creates zig zags of color.

Finished Size: Adult: 21” (53.5 cm) hat circumference x 7.75” (19.5 cm) height.

Gauge: Hat Band = 2” (5 cm) wide in pattern. For best fit, always check your gauge.
