Ruby Hat

Sabine and I were at Joann Fabrics and she picked up this yarn and asked me to make a hat. I came up with this simple pattern to show off the stripes, and it's stretchy enough to fit every size head from three years to adult. It's great for a striping yarn, but I've also used Wool-Ease for charity donations.
