Quilty Spiral Hat by Sarah E. Chapman

Craft: Knitting

A worsted weight hat knit with the spiral method - a perfect canvas for playing with color! We came a to contrast color idea: one is a space-dyed color of Alegria Grande called Quilt, and then we topped it off with a little bit of Teal!

There are so many ways to play with color options for the Quilty Spiral Hat. Snag two of your favorite colors of Alegria Grande, and even a Bocado (our 25g mini-skeins of Alegria Grande) to add a splash of color!
