Shine bright and stay warm! Glittering jewels worked in stranded colorwork sparkle around this reversible hat and cozy cowl. The Bejeweled Hat uses two or more colors of fingering weight yarn.

Then, the stitches are picked up along the provisional edge and the interior solid-color side of the hat is knit. The interior can be tucked inside the exterior side to make a doubly-warm hat.
