Deceptively simple garter stitch angles form a sculptural sideways-knit Hat with plenty of movement. Sagitta’s arrowhead pattern is formed in narrow panels that can be easily adjusted for a perfect fit beyond the 5 sizes already written.

Illustrated tutorials are included for all the construction techniques (provisional cast-on, short rows and grafting/Kitchener stitch).
