Absolutely new technique of knitting, based on stacked increases and decreases introduced by Xandy Peters

I carried the idea of this hat rather long time, unitll one day the idea had found its shape in this “piece of art”. My friends already had queued for their personal Ajisai hat…

Knit and purl stitches, knitting in the round, stacked increases & decreases, magic cast-on, bind off with tapestry needle.
