Because this is a giant houndstooth pattern I couldn’t resist naming it after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous story! Worked in Halloween colors it’s perfect for keeping your head warm while out trick or treating!

This is a slipped stitch pattern worked in only one color per row! No fiddling with stranded knitting to make this gorgeous hat
