New Slant On It is a lightweight hat that features a simple to knit diagonal check stitch pattern, providing textural interest. The bottom edge is rolled; but if you don’t wish this type of edge, simple knit an all-rib band.

The hat is suitable for male or female wearers. Make your color choice accordingly.

Uses only one 50-gram skein of yarn as knit. More yardage needed if you wish a slouchier or looser fit.
