          |Me with hat on|           |Other hat| 		This is the most complicated thing I've made so far, it's big, it's lose, it's strippy, and I like it!

It seams I must have a very lose style of knitting, my mum made a hat a bit like this using 128 stitches and her's turned out rather tight. I will put a gauge up here when I can be bothered working it out, but if yr like me you prob won't bother and just use the old fashioned trial and error method.
If yr planning on making it bigger or smaller make the rows amout of stitches as a multiple of 8.
Stripes are random, as a rule only ever did my black stripes one row thick, rest of the colors are 1, 2, 3, and 4 row thick.


   
Using size 4 needles( English sizing)
