Modelled brilliantly by Jamie Littler, illustrator of You Can't Make Me Go To Witch School and author/illustrator of the fabulous Frostheart series!

I have had so many requests for the Rainbow Hat of Awesomeness so here it is! I've made this hat five times and each time I have changed the pattern, please feel free to do the same. I am an author not a pattern designer so if you spot any glaring errors please get in touch and I will amend the pattern.
 
You will need:
Chunky wool:
100gm purple
50 gm of each colour, red, blue, green, yellow, orange. You can change the order to suite you.
One circular 6mm needle. You will need to change to double ended needles as the hat decreases towards the tip.
The stitches need to be fairly tight for the hat to retain its form.
1 metre of clear plastic boning strip for the edge of the brim.
 
Method
THE BRIM
Cast on 180 stitches using circular needles and purple wool. Place a marker at join. Take care not to twist the wool as you join.

*K18 K2 tog* rep from * to * 9 times.
*K17 K2 tog* rep from * to * 9 times.
