Give me a skein of Nest Worsted and I’m powerless not to design something new. This was supposed to be a Michelada to replace the one I put through the dryer.

BUT instead, it’s a fun and quick colorwork hat. Deep and squishy and geometric, with a lovely star at the crown.

In addition to playing with my new skein, these hats allowed me to use up a half skein of Nest I had remaining from my French 75 and a half skein of Dream State from my Western Rose - because no gorgeous yarn should go to waste.

The pattern was easily memorized and if you look at my 3rd hat (because I never can stop once I’m “in” a hat pattern), in the projects section, you’ll see that you can even stripe two accent colors in this pattern if you want to play with more yarn!
