Perfect for round, springy yarns with exceptional stitch definition, this hat’s clever stitch pattern mimics woven basketry through the creative use of knits, purls, and yarn overs. This is one of those stitch patterns that gives dramatic results despite using only the most basic of knitting stitches! The deeply textured fabric is balanced with a doubled-ribbed brim that adds squishy comfort and a substantial base for the woven textures that grow from it. (It’s a great project to build your skills by learning a provisional cast on and a turned hem!)

"Sized for the whole family, the basketweave fabric is eye-catching on babies, children, and adults alike. Tastefully placed eyelets create a mesh-like fabric that provides ventilation without sacrificing warmth. The yarn overs (and their corresponding decreases) may be omitted for a less breezy look that maintains a satisfying texture." — designer, Jared Flood
