Product Details

Original version available through Interweave Knits; this is an updated version with charts as well as written instructions. In this quick, easy, stretchy hat, a simple slip-stitch pattern breaks up potential pooling, while letting hand-dyed yarns take center stage. There are two options for shaping the crown: Version 1 features a strong decrease line three stitches wide, while Version 2 has a more subtle one-stitch line.
