What makes this hat different is that it is knitted sideways. The border is knitted on at the same time and made to fit snug around one’s head by short-rowing; don’t let this put you off: it is all explained in the pattern and comes with a chart as well for those who prefer to work that way. Can be made to fit any size head and also comes with instructions for a child-size version. To be knitted with DK yarn, on size 4.0 – 4.5 mm needles.
