Studio Assistant is a basic bottom-up hat with bold geometric colorwork that plays with positive and negative space. The chevron stripes and triangles featured in the design seem to pop forward or fade into the background, depending on where you focus your eyes. It’s worked in the round, in two colors, and is flattering on both men and women.

Studio Assistant was designed to pair with my Underwood fingerless mitts. Two skeins of sock yarn (approx. 100 grams/462 yds) is enough to make both the hat and the mitts.
