Ironheart Hat for Kids
Interesting knitting begins right away with a two-color corrugated ribbing. Following a plain round of knitting, the Norwegian-inspired hearts are wrought to life with stranded colorwork. After a two-color purl turning round, you’re on to the crown decreases, either in the contrasting color or in the main color.
Notes:
- The entire brim is stranded, which doubles the thickness and makes the hat warm, warm, warm.
- Infinite color combinations.
- Pattern includes instructions for both a child’s and an adult’s version of the hat.
