Use just one 50 gram skein of Woolstok Worsted to craft the Quartz Hat, featuring classic knitting techniques such as the 2x2 ribbed brim and lovely stockinette stitch worked in the round. This pattern really shines when you consider its numerology, such as the crown decreases that form a 7-sided spiral.

Inspired by my friend’s studies regarding quartz on exoplanet WASP-17b.
