About:
Tracking along hat is a cosy DK / 8ply knitting pattern, designed in 5 sizes from Newborn up to adult large. This stretchy design is worked in the round, decreasing using your preferred small circumference method.
The twisted stitch and eyelet patterning is both written and charted so you can work in your preferred way. There are options for a folded or straight brim. This knitted hat looks great with or without a pompom. You may like to pair your Tracking along hat with the Tracking along cardigan.
