Heads-Up Hats Knitting Pattern Download

Description

The sides are worked back and forth in rows of bright slip-stitch patterns that appear more complicated than they are. In fact, slip stitches are an easy way to create lively color work with little effort-you work with only one strand of yarn at a time. The solid-color crowns, worked in the round, feature five-star shaping for a close and comfortable fit.
