Flint Hill Hat
The Flint Hill Hat is quick to knit and deep winter warm. It features a simple cable and slip stitch design that diminishes to an attractive crown. An Alternating/Italian cast-on creates the professional finish of a tubular cast-on without the multiple rounds required to work it.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit to reduce the potential for error.
NOTE: Accurate gauge is EXTREMELY important for a correct fit when so few stitches are involved. A SMALL variance in gauge can make for a BIG difference in the size of your finished project and whether you run out of yarn before finishing.
CONSTRUCTION
The hat is cast on using the Alternating/Italian cast-on and then worked in the round.
Pompon utilizes approx 9 yds (8.25 m) of yarn. Pompon yardage is included in yarn requirements listed above.
Hat features an attractive decrease and looks just as lovely without a pompon should you wish to forego this extra embellishment.
