Wear it "Anyway" you like!

We found this unique hat pattern in Turvid's Blog. You may wear the hat in different ways, thus the name. See photos in the pattern.

The pattern knits up very nicely and quick with two strands of chunky yarn held together, like our Northern Chunky or Marble Chunky. Works equally nice with one strand of a super bulky yarn like Quick or Woolly Bully. Alison made the hat from one ball of Quick!
