The Prickly Pear Hats are simple colorwork hats, knit in deep, saturated shades of beautiful Pishkun yarn. If substituting yarn, note that Pishkun is a heavy DK. You could use another heavy DK weight yarn or a light worsted weight yarn to get gauge. Choose colors that will allow the pattern to show up when knit, and make sure your fiber has enough memory for a well - fitting hat. Enjoy the link below to find the pattern on Ravelry.
