The July Chameleon Hat has a decidedly patriotic flair. I’m introducing it a bit early so that you’ll have time to get a couple of them whipped up in time for July 4th.

This month’s Chameleon Hat is aptly named Red, White and Blue! The stripes are a nod to the American flag and I’ve added a playful ruffle around the brim with a ruffly flower too!
Of course, the hat would look great in many color combinations so have fun.
Here are all the past versions of the Chameleon Hat so far.
