Designer Melissa Johnson’s Stained Glass Hat is the perfect small project for experimenting with color combinations and using small amounts of yarn from your collection.
The top of the hat can be finished in charted decreases or simply gathered. Work the cuff in corrugated rib or stockinette stitch for a rolled edge.
Try our colorways or create one of your own! Purchasing the yarn for one hat will provide you with enough yarn to knit several hats.

Designed by Spinnery friend John in three different weights, this reversible hat is for the person who’s a bit buttoned-down on the outside but jazzy on the inside. It will keep the head toasty-warm on the coldest and windiest days of winter. The only hat s/he’ll ever want to wear!
