This year many fiber artist are choosing to design their hats, ear warmers, and hoods, with poplar and creative Ombre/Variegated yarns and stitches to create fabulous and fashionable winter headwear.
Ombre dyed yarns have tones of color that will shade into each other as youwork your stitches together to created a light to dark color change. Variegated dyed yarns have a variety of different colors on one ball of yarn. Variegated style yarns can also be created by adding two or more different color yarns together to make one unique and colorful designed pattern project.

Crochet Hat Pattern - Harlequin Puff Stitch Beanie
This beautifully designed crochet beanie offered by OfMars on Etsy.com is a great example of color blending with variegated yarn. For this project the designer suggest using 1 ball of ice Yarns Lana Bella.
Ice LANA BELLA Yarn #58147 VIVID COLORSSelf Striping DK WOOL
Ice Lana Bella Yarns offers a variety of lovely striped yarns. The above yarn could be a possible match used to make this hat patterned offered by OfMars. On OfMars website at www.ofmarscrochet.com it states that this pattern uses Ice Lana Bella yarn to complete this particle hat pattern design and that Ice Lana Bella yarn is a very good yarn choice when making the Harlequin Puff Stitch Beanie. 
Using two or three different color striping yarn balls together to create one lovely blending color palette is very unique and stylish. Spun Colors yarns have a wide variety of colors and choices for possible project ideas like the crocheted hat pattern below created by OfMars. 
I love how OfMars possibly uses two different color striping yarns to form one super cute crochet hat pattern. I am not sure if this is what the artist actually designed with these patterns, but the array of colors suggest that this is a combination of two different yarn color palettes. What a fun and creative way to form something very interesting and new with your stipe yarns.
