The checkerboard hat is all about contrasts. The woven look is made by the juxtaposing bumpy garter stitch against smooth stockinette- creating a highly textured effect without the need to cable. If knit in soft tones the hat looks subtle and classic, while if it’s done in bright saturated colours it will look edgy and modern.
