Triticum
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 126:6

This stitch produces a highly textured pattern that results in a warm and snuggly hat. The pom pom adds just a little something extra!

Triticum is suitable for an advanced beginner. Knowledge of basic decreases, knitting in the round and changing your beginning of round is helpful. The pattern has a video tutorial for the pattern wrap stitch.
