Tuesday Tens: Ten Free One Skein Patterns for Malabrigo Hats

In less than a year, all the knitters around me have gone crazy for Malabrigo yarn. It's suddenly popped up in a couple of different LYS's in Austin, and become the center of a campaign on Ravelry.

One of the great things about Malabrigo is that it comes in a rainbow of colors. If you're tempted to try them all, these patterns should get you started. They can be knit with one skein or less of Malabrigo Worsted, and they're all free. And if this is just the hats, imagine what else is out there.
