All Squared Up

What makes this entrelac hat unique? The entire upper hat is worked in entrelac – including the shaping! As it comes off the needles, it’s a cap, but block it over a plate and it’s a beret. It is also super stretchy to comfortably fit a range of head sizes.

Skills Needed to Successfully Complete This Pattern: follow directions closely, provisional cast on (optional), work in the round on circular needle, knit, purl, ribbing, stockinette stitch, slip stitches, using markers, purl two sts together and ssk decreases, pick up sts knitwise and purlwise, 3-needle bind off.

As of August 16, 2013, an upgraded version of this pattern is available as a Ravelry download. This new version more than doubled in size, going from two pages to five. What's in those extra three pages? Easier-to-read type, more photos and lots of hints and tips to make this project a success.
