This is the first and lowest-resolution of my “Parallax” series of double-knit accoutrements, which are based on the warped-checkerboard style used by some Op-Art artists in the 1960s. This type of motif has been used often in weaving but not very much, as far as I have found, in knitting -- probably due to the long floats and/or complex twistin...

From the pattern:

This is a 3-color, 2-pattern double-knit hat. The technique is unique but the pattern is written so that even someone who has never double-knit before can follow the key and chart and complete the project.

This pattern was the first thing I ever designed in double-knitting, and is still my most popular pattern. I attribute its success to its simple elegance and whimsy.
