• Product description

  This unique hat, made with a mobius twist, is deceptively simple to knit. The main portion of Quincy is worked as a flat strip of garter stitch, knit back-and-forth with built-in I-cord on both sides. When this piece reaches sufficient length, the fabric is given a half-twist and the ends are then grafted together using kitchener stitch. You will now have a mobius strip from which you will pick up crown stitches. Crown shaping is worked traditionally, in the round, from this point onward to close the top.

  Designer: Jared Flood

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The body of the hat begins with a Provisional Cast On and is worked flat in garter stitch with an I-cord edging on both sides.
  • Upon completion of the body section, the fabric is given a half-twist to create a moebius strip and the ends are grafted together using Kitchener Stitch.
  • Construction/folding illustrations are included to show the folding process.
  • Stitches are picked up from one edge of the moebius strip for the crown, which is then worked traditionally in the round.
