Mistake Stitch Rib Hat

Knits and purls are sequenced to give a pleasing texture
and intuitive knitting experience to keep things moving
quickly for a weekend ready hat. You can wear this low
and slouchy or roll things back for a closer, snug feel. Instructions included are for those of you ready to
work in the round or with steps for knitting flat before
seaming. Whether you choose to add a pom pom or not
is your call.

Foundations: The first wobbly scarf you knit and knotted proudly around your neck to keep out the cold. The handmade mittens you wore as a child, a gift from a beloved relative. When we think about the hours spent making those items, we understand that they are an act of love. It’s the time you set aside for your own creativity that day. It’s the way you felt as your beloved pulled on your hat as they left for work that day. Each stitch, a hidden wish. The gift of handmade is at the core of our latest series of design collections. We named it ‘Foundations’ because these are the building blocks for a lifelong hobby in which we can clothe ourselves and our loved ones in beautiful colours and texture.
