Hello friends! Making an accessory from yarn, such as a hat, a set of mittens or a head band that matches a sweater or skirt can seriously enhance the overall look of your chosen outfit. So, having a lot of leftover yarn, I had to make a matching hat for the Bold Stripes Skirt and Top set to be complete. This hat has the same general pattern of the other two pieces, although the final look leans more towards a beret shape. I've made this hat in two sizes that I hope can fit most heads. You can even knit it with a different colored yarn to break the monotone of the outfit. It's a pretty easy knit, especially if you had made the skirt or the top before. I hope you enjoy making and wearing it!
