This extra-stretchy hat has a deceptively simple zigzag pattern that continues through the crown shaping. Offered in both charted and fully written out form.

Cloud is a heavy worsted weight chainette yarn. For best stitch definition, substitute yarns should also be chainette, or else have multiple plies and a firm twist. Cotton and cotton blends would also work well.
