Sideways knitting takes on an extra twist in this Hat with stripes worked on the bias!

Using the fabric properties of stocking and reverse stocking stitch, combined with swirls created by increases and decreases, Revambias offers a sculptural beret style Hat that’s both fun to knit and wear.

The deep garter stitch brim maintains a snug fit, allowing the rest of the Hat to take a playful centre stage.

Worked sideways and grafted, the pattern is provided in both written and charted formats. The pattern is written for 7 sizes and is easily adjustable for different yarn weights and sizes, notes are included. Within the pattern you will also find download links to key tutorials.
