Notes

This is a very fun and addictive knit that creates a unique color pattern and texture.  The technique used here is great for those wanting an introduction to mosaic color work, and for more experienced knitters alike!

In the hat shown here, Coral is worked as the MC, while Beaches is worked as the CC. Your brim (cast on) color can either be your MC or CC, depending on which color you want to be dominant on the hat.
