This is a checklist pattern, the knitter will check off each box as they complete a round.

Teaching Beginning Knitting at the local library has allowed me to meet hundreds of knitters from around my area. We first began this class with a worsted weight hat but due to time constraints of 3 weeks, I decided that an Aran weight hat would be perhaps just a bit less knitting to finish more quickly. This is a good introduction to reading a pattern and is written using checkboxes for each round to be completed.
