Mardi Gras hat

the mardi gras hat is a pattern you will use over and again because it is a quick knit whether you make the version with earflaps or without, for cold or not-so-cold climates. in a bright color, it has a celebratory quality--fun to wear to outdoor festivals or street parties. without flaps its character is more sober, but its appeal is great. knit with a single strand of yarn, the hat is lightweight, soft, and so easy to wear that one will not be enough.
