Dancing Waters Hat

I went in my local mountain ski shop to drop off some hats (I sell hats there) and got wrapped up in all the hoodies, t-shirts, and more with the bright colors and bold graphics that feature sunsets and stripes. I wanted to make a hat that could fit even better alongside all the colorful mountain-inspired goods and easily showcase bright colors, while using up some of the smaller yarn bits I have accumulated. This hat was one of two new patterns what I came up with - it reminds of sparkling lake water at sunset.

This can be a great stash busting pattern, using only 5-20 yards of 2 of the colors in the colorwork section. Perfect to use up those bits of brilliant colored left from other projects. The pattern uses Super Bulky yarn. I have written the pattern for 3 sizes: child, adult m/l, and adult l/xl.
