This is an extremely warm hat because it incorporates little ‘air pockets’.

Knitted bottom up, flat on 2 needles, from a pretty mock cable rib, it is a very simple pattern. 75% of it is actually stocking stitch. The ‘catching a stitch up’ technique is simple to learn, easy to execute and clear to ‘read’ in your knitting.

For those of you who knit for profit, particularly those of you who knit tirelessly for worthy causes, you are absolutely welcome to advertise/pin/post/display/upload/sell for profit any knits from this pattern with my blessings.
