We love the look of a tartan hat—but don’t always want the thick fabric of stranded colorwork. This simple hat is worked in horizontal stripes
in the round, with columns of rib stitches where the vertical contrast stripes will go.

After finishing the knitting, the vertical stripes are added as easy crocheted slip stitches.
