Lets face it: knitting is most enjoyable when you don’t need to check the charts or twist the stitches. Iisi Hat is made for those moments. All you need to do is to work basic ribbing and decrease for the crown. The style of Iisi Hat is still super cool and urban. Knit tight, use the yarn that has some twist on it and stay in the gauge to get the best result.

Gauge: 36 sts x 40 rnds = 10 cm / 4” of ribbing without any stretching.

Tip! If you don’t like wearing mohair, you can use any yarn that goes to gauge. The hat should be more tight than loose after finishing just because it gets wider on use.
