Cheerful flowers dance around the body of this colorwork hat. Wild Blossom is knit from the brim to the crown with a cozy folded brim followed by joyful floral colorwork. The crown is finished with a simple swirl of decreases.

To fit: (child, teen, adult M, adult, L)
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Hat circumference: (19, 21, 22.75, 24.75) inches / (47.5, 52.5, 57, 62) cm
Hat height: (9.25, 9.25, 9.75, 9.75) inches / (23, 23, 24.5, 24.5) cm
Choose the size closest to the recipient’s head circumference. Stranded colorwork is typically less stretchy than regular stockinette.
YARN
(1, 1, 1, 1) skein Brown Sheep Co Praire Spun DK in Red Cedar (MC) and (1, 1, 1, 1) skein Brown Sheep Co Praire Spun DK in Parchment (CC).
Or (116, 128, 183, 199) yards / (107, 118, 168, 182) meters MC,
