Hi there! This pattern is a bit different. I’ve coded a pattern chart generator that allows you to customise the number of stitches and rows in your hat, as well as the texture. It’s a bit experimental and I’m excited to see what you make of it!

Simplex noise is a clustered randomness algorithm. When translated into knits and purls it produces a stitch pattern with an organic texture.

The chart generator uses a new noise pattern each time the page is visited, creating a unique hat chart.

Unlike many traditional knitting patterns, there are no section repeats. The knitting chart shows the pattern in full: every knit and every purl. The lack of repeats does mean the pattern requires more focus when knitting, however, the upside is that any mistakes in following the pattern are barely noticeable.
