A good pattern does not have to be complicated. Sometimes
all you need is a pretty stitch.

The Ariel hat is knitted in the wheat ear loop st. This stitch
gives both a cable and ribbing effect. If you have never done
the stitch before, you can find a video Here. In the video, the stitch is knitted back and forth, but in this pattern, it’s knitted in the round.

Follow written instructions to knit the stitch correctly.
