Shamrock Ring Hat

Bright shamrocks dance, forming a beautiful all-over design for a stranded colorwork hat. Two contrasting fingering or sport weight yarns are used to complete the overall pattern, along with a third to work the lining of the brim. A double layer brim provides extra warmth & a good fit.
