Love the Jacob’s Ladder technique in crochet but don’t know how to crochet? Try the new method of chaining loops developed by Renita Harvey that achieves the same design feature on a stockinette background by knitting this hat!

Amaze your friends and family with this fun hat that incorporates both the braided chain loops and color changes. Changing the color after each round of chain loops gives the “ladder” a more visible appearance. Or use a self-striping yarn with long color changes to avoid changing colors manually. This hat is also a great pattern for school and team colors as well as seasonal color combinations.

The Polemonium Hat is easier than it appears making it a great pattern for those wanting to up their loom knitting game.

Knit on the All-n-One Loom, the Polemonium Hat has a decreased crown bringing all the “ladders” or braids together at the top achieving a nice clean finish.
