As I was sketching out colourwork possibilities for Zig, I came up with all sorts of options and I couldn’t stop with just one colourwork hat. Pomball: Waves has a waving rib on the brim, three colours, and two sets of wave patterns. I kept the pomball itself nice and simple on this one. There’s a lot going on in the rest of the hat and I wanted something that just rounded out the hat without competing for attention.
