Five-Spice Hat

An excellent introduction to slip-stitch technique, this cap is worked in the round from the bottom up, with decreases for
the top. Traditional Bosnian slip-stitch patterning uses front and back loop stitches to create stripes of texture. This hat is perfect for the beginning crocheter.
