The SUNNY SPOT hat is an extraordinarily FAST project! I love bulky weight hats! They fly off the needles, and create a sweet, quick, sunny spot between larger knitting projects. This project is great for using up scraps of bulky weight yarn or bulky weight mini skeins. Don’t have any bulky weight yarn? Consider holding multiple strands of lighter weight yarn together.

This hat is knit seamlessly from the bottom up, in the round. This hat features fun, graphic colorwork, and you NEVER need to catch a float. Looking for a project that you can knit in less than a day? This project is for you!
