The Four Square Hat is a fun mix of stitches and the perfect canvas for those gorgeous indie dyed skeins. Sections of garter and ribbing create an interesting fabric and highlight the nuances of hand painted and speckled yarn. Knits, purls and simple decreases at the crown make this project approachable by seasoned and new knitters alike. Newer knitters can use this pattern to learn how to read stitch pattern and count rounds in pattern in their knitting.
