Beginner friendly colorwork - Slip stitches are so much fun!

For this pattern you’re changing colors every round and either knitting, purling or slipping a stitch. The stitch count for the DK and worsted weight versions are the same. The achieved gauge determines the size of the hat.

This is a great stash buster pattern as you’ll need just 75 - 85 yds of each of three colors of yarn. Or make it scrappy and use up those leftover odds and ends!
