Katia Love Wool is a soft, loosely spun wool/alpaca blend, making this quick-to-knit hat soft, lofty and warm! Start by knitting the ribbed button band flat, skipping a button hole - since we never really need to unbutton the band of a hat, right? Stitches are then joined to work in the round, knit in stockinette with a bit of seed stitch to frame the decrease lines of the top. Shown with a Jul Pedestal leather button – these buttons simply screw on through your knitted fabric, for an easy, fast finish.
