Kitelines

CONSTRUCTION

• The hat is worked circularly from the bottom up.
• This pattern includes options for either a beanie or a beret version. The beanie version starts with a greater stitch count for the ribbed brim than the beret. The beret version will require a form (plate) for blocking to achieve the desired shape.
• High-contrast values will make the most of the graphic effect of this stitch pattern. If you’re having trouble selecting color, we recommend choosing a dark color for C1 and a light color for C2.
