Weft Hat - 2 sessions
gather here Classes
This hat’s clever stitch pattern mimics woven basketry through the creative use of knits, purls, and yarn overs. This is one of those stitch patterns that gives dramatic results despite using only the most basic of knitting stitches! It’s a great project to build your skills by learning a provisional cast on and a turned hem - you'll love the double-ribbed brim's squishy comfort.
