Product Details
The sixth design in the “British Inventors and Scientists” collection is not a sock... XNOR is a nod to Boolean Algebra, introduced by George Boole, English mathematician and logician during the 19th century.
Like all logical functions, XNOR is described by a truth table. The XNOR pattern in the body of the hat is my knit/purl interpretation of that truth table (rounds 1 and 2 are input, round 3 is output; true = k, false = p).
Bonus: The hat is reversible… and the “wrong side” is the knit/purl representation of XOR, the logical complement to XNOR. Isn’t it magical?
Yarn requirement 100% wool, DK weight: 55 (75, 100, 125, 155, 190) m / 60 (82, 109, 137, 170, 208) yds approximately for a hat without pompom.
You will need a little extra if you choose to make a pompom (5-15g depending on the size and fluffiness of the pompom).
