Diagonal knitting combined with easy short-row shaping creates the candy-cane striping effect. The Malabrigo Merino Worsted is so soft you'd swear it was spun from cloud fiber by the knitting gods themselves, and comes in so many delicious kettle-dyed colors you'll want to make more than just one Lollipop hat. The stripes can easily be customized to accommodate up to eight different colors – a great way to use up remnants for those on a yarn diet.
