Hi there! This pattern is a bit different. I’ve coded a pattern chart generator that allows you to customise the number of stitches and rows in your hat, as well as the look of it. It’s a bit experimental and I’m excited to see what you make of it!

Simplex noise is a clustered randomness algorithm. When translated into knit stitches it produces a colourwork pattern with an organic look.

The chart generator uses a new noise pattern each time the page is visited, creating a unique hat chart.

Unlike many traditional knitting patterns, there are no section repeats. The knitting chart shows the pattern in full. The lack of repeats does mean the pattern requires more focus when knitting, however, the upside is that any mistakes in following the pattern are barely noticeable.
