This hat is a really fun and quick project that allows you to experiment with marled or handspun + solid color yarns, while also playing with a really fun stitch. 
It is worked from the brim to the top, with decreases shaping the crown of the hat.

MATERIALS 
Multicolor Yarn (MC): 1 (1, 2) skeins or 90 (100, 120) yards 82 (92, 109) m of Plump by Spincycle Yarns (100% wool; 100 yds 92 m / approx. 100g). The sample was made using color Ghost Ranch.

Tips for substituting 
The main yarn can be substituted with 2 strands of light DK, or sport weight… or 3 strands of fingering weight. Marling different colors will have a similar effect to the yarn that I used.
Needles: US 8 (5 mm) circular needles, 24” 60 cm long. 
Other notions: Stitch marker, tapestry needle.
 
GAUGE 
16 sts and 24 rows to 4” 10 cm in (K2, P1) ribbing, on US 8 5 mm needles after blocking. 
Before measuring, make sure your swatch goes through the same blocking and pinning process as your beanie will.
