Yoli Hat is available for sale as an individual pattern, or as part of the Yoli Accessories ebook. The Accessories also include both Yoli Cowl and Yoli Loop, bundled for a special 20% savings.

Diagonal mesh and fun sideways construction make the Yoli Hat engaging to knit, with just the right amount of modern style. Worked sideways in one piece from a provisional cast on and then grafted, the garter brim fits comfortably while the short rows create slouch and naturally shape the crown. Finished carefully, Yoli is reversible and can be worn right off the needles.

Construction: The Yoli Hat is knit sideways beginning with a provisional CO which is grafted to the final row. Stitch gauge determines the height of the crown, while row gauge determines circumference; to adjust the size of the brim, work fewer or more repeats of the mesh.

Techniques & Skills Used: provisional CO, knit, short rows, easy lace, grafting; links are included to my short rows and grafting tutorials.
