Field Guide No. 5: Sequences works wonders with simple shifts.

This understated hat is worked in the round using the spiral sequence method. We like a hat to be a simple and entertaining sort of knitting project, which is where sequence knitting comes in handy. In this brand of knitting, a hat’s textural shifts are folded into the sequence in a perfectly organic way.
