This design is made in linen stitch, where some stitches are knitted and others slipped purlwise with the yarn in front. This produces a material that is thin and dense at the same time which is suitable for a warm hat that keeps its shape.

Patience is necessary, since the knitting grows very slowly. In return for your efforts you get a unique expression, where the technique and the burnt shades of the multicoloured yarn call to mind worn leather.

Try using linen stitch for edges that you do not want to curl.

Enjoy yourself

All my best
