Quadrant is a hat with an unusual construction that lends itself to variations using color, pattern, texture, or embellishment with embroidery or needle-felting. It’s a quick knit and could be a stash buster to boot. Knit it to display a Fair Isle chart, play with a striping pattern, or practice your embroidery skills. It’s a great unisex pattern that could be made masculine or feminine by yarn and color choice.
