Whoever said a leopard can’t change its spots? Here is proof that they can! This pattern makes a slouchy hat that can also be worn as a cowl. It starts with a bear paw edge at the base and a picot bound off edge at the top. The leopard spots are done with stranded color work taking full advantage of the beautiful colors of Chroma.

Size 4 (3.5mm): 16" circular: Options Nickel Plated Fixed Circular Knitting Needles
