Here is another free pattern I am offering! I love this hat, it is so simple to knit, and the slip-stitch columns create a structured, fashionable look! Excited to share!
ABBREVIATIONS:
MIL: Make One Left. Pick up the bar between the stitch you knit and the one you're about to knit, bringing the needle from front to back. Then knit into the back of the stitch.
CDD: Center Double Decrease. Slip the next two stitches from the left knitting needle to the right knitting needle as if to knit two together. Knit the next stitch on the left knitting needle. Insert the left knitting needle into the two slipped stitches and pull them over the first stitch and off the right knitting needle.
MATERIALS:
1.) 200-250 yards of worsted weight yarn.
2.) Size US 6/ 4.00 mm circular knitting needles.
3.) A tapestry needle to sew in the ends.
