Sugarfrost

A quick knit hat that makes use of silk/mohair in a unique way! The all-over pattern is created with slipped stitches, forming a subtle dot-and-dash motif.

CONSTRUCTION: A long brim that can be doubled is worked first before the hat transitions into an easy-to-memorize slipped stitch pattern. Crown shaping is worked into the stitch pattern so it continues uninterrupted to the crown. The laceweight yarn is held double throughout.
