Firefly Hat Pattern

The stranded colourwork pattern of this hat is complementedby four-colour corrugated ribbing; the crown shaping is achieved using centreddouble decreases. This design, which comes in two sizes, uses small amounts ofeach shade of the yarn, so it is ideal for using up leftovers in your stash.
