Alumina is created with a combination of ribbing and a lovely stitch pattern reminiscent of acorns. Hat is worked from the brim up.

This pattern is recommended for an intermediate knitter but suitable for the knitter with a little experience too.
Pattern includes charts and explanation of all the methods used: reading charts, basic decreases (ssk; k2tog; ssp; p2tog; sl 1, k2tog, psso) and center double decrease (knit and purl), increase M1. The acorn pattern is easy to memorize.

Please note: the stitch pattern in this cowl is charted only.
