Hitra Hat

Worked from the brim to the crown, this hat features a textured pattern using 2 colors of worsted weight yarn. Stripes are used to transition from one color to another. Though the patterning looks like stranded work, only one color of yarn is used at a time.

Texture pattern is both charted and written.
