Yes, the knit and purl stitches create a diamond, but your teacher will call it a rhombus. The Rhombi Hats work well in a cotton or wool blend. Following the Rhombus or Rhombus Moss chart will give the knitter something interesting to do, and if finished neatly, the recipient can wear it inside-out for a reversible look. This hat takes just a few hours to knit, and makes a perfect gift or accessory for either gender.
