Elevate

$6.00

For the first hat in the Kino Knits E-Book collection, I’ve gone bold: bold in style, and bold in technique. A long gradient main color (MC) works its way up the hat in simple garter, while a dynamic panel showcases the gradient in arrows pointing up. Let’s Elevate your hat game and Elevate your skills: this hat is knit flat, back and forth, with stranded colorwork and (gasp!) intarsia. However, you’ll wrap your edge stitches so the whole thing ends up seamless! Don’t worry: the pattern explains it all for you!
