Quadricolor Hat

We sell knitting and crochet patterns to support medical research or charitable causes through the financing of charity sports bibs. By purchasing a pattern, you are supporting a charity and helping an athlete to run on its behalf !

“Quadricolor, because there are four primary colors.” Thanks to my partner for this great idea, and thanks to the 90’s french kids who’ll get the reference.

This colored hat is knitted in the round using circular or double pointed needles. The construction is simple, it makes it easy to knit, even if you are not used to work with different colors.
