Description
A fun, easy-to-work slip-stitch pattern that gives a luxuriously thick fabric that looks fantastic on both sides, making the hat reversible (and giving you two dramatically different looks). Even better, the pattern only requires working with one colour at a time, so no experience with colourwork is needed.
The pattern is written for intermediate knitters and assumes the knitter knows how to cast on and bind off, how to knit and purl, how to knit in-the-round and how to darn in ends. Detailed instructions are provided for all the other techniques used, so even relatively new knitters should be able to complete the hat with little trouble.
The hat is knit from the top down, but don’t let this put you off; I actually think it’s easier to knit hats this way, and a clear photo tutorial is provided (even if you decide you don’t like knitting hats this way, you will have learned a new knitting technique!).
The pattern is given in both written format (i.e., as a full set of written instructions) and as charts, so the knitter can choose which format to work from.
22 pages (includes many photographs and diagrams to clarify the instructions and a photo tutorial).
Pattern includes instructions for knitting the faux fur version of the hat shown in the pictures.
