OK, so I fibbed a little. Tuesday, when I released the “last” Chameleon Hat – Holiday Joy, I told you it had been difficult choosing between an elegant, traditional style and a more fun, whimsical one, but that I had chosen elegance. Here comes the lie…in the spirit of holiday giving, I chose both!
Introducing Flurries!
Flurries appeals to the child in all of us, full of wonder and surprise! The holly and berries give this hat a decidedly holiday feel, but change up the colors and you have a fun New Years Top Hat too! I used Red Heart Yarn that I bought at Michael’s.

**Please note that everyone crochets differently. These differences combined with differences in hook/yarn choice could result in substantial variations in the finished project sizing. To achieve best results, check gauge and adjust hook as necessary. As an additional checkpoint, please note that I provide diameter measurements at the end of the increases for each size. If your dimensions differ greatly, the finished hat will not meet sizing as noted. Adjust your sizing choice based on that measurement.**
