Hello everyone! One of the many challenges that come with knitting or crocheting, is modifying a certain pattern to suit a design. For example, working it to fit inside the outline of a shawl or a scarf, or converting it from rows to rounds technique in hats, and then coming up with a way that combines the pattern and the decreasing method at the same time. This hat was obviously made from the yarn left from making the Rhombus Weave Shawl, and . If you check that shawl out, you will find that the pattern is simple and easy to knit, but for this hat I elevated the skill level to “intermediate” because it’s worked in rounds, which can be a bit tricky for some knitters, and I know that not everyone owns circular needles. I hope you have fun making this hat, and I hope you get to make the complete set with the shawl.
