The hat is somewhat challenging but holds the knitter’s interest from cast-on to final decreases. The brim begins in-the-round with a Twined Herringbone Edge, followed by a knit/purl diamond border with beads. The body of the hat consists of raven motifs worked back-and-forth using intarsia, then blends into five crown sections which repeat the diamond border.
The pattern includes swatch instructions to review the various techniques.
