This hat is knit in the round from the bottom up. The pattern is designed to use the entire skein of Caron X Pantone with minimal yarn waste.

When the symbol * appears in the pattern, repeat the stitches that appear between the two *s until the end of the round, unless indicated otherwise.

Each Color (A, B, C, D, E) is labeled based on the number given to the color by the Caron X Pantone tag. See the end of the pattern for other skein color combinations.
