The is an advanced-beginner hat pattern that incorporates a decorative weaving pattern.

Design Options: Make it a cowl, instead of a hat!… Forget the decreases and just continue in pattern on 80 sts until you have just enough yarn to bind off loosely.

Make it 2 headbands instead of 1 hat… Cast on the same number, don’t change to the larger needle & work 16 rows before binding off!

Prefer to knit flat? Follow the pattern as written but ignore the W&T & then seam

Want a decorative edge? Cast on in a solid color of the same gauge for a bit of contrast. Pick one of the colors in the handpaint
that you want to “pop” and use that. After you’ve cast on in the contrast, knit the body in the Misti handpaint.
