Let us introduce you to effortless fall style. This beautiful (turban-style) hat is elegance at its finest and it’s perfect for blocking out those chilly autumn breezes. The edge of this trendy knotted hat is a 1×1 ribbing and is grafted together after tying a knot, with stitches picked up in the round to form the crown. The coolest part? The stitches at the knot were not picked up, but rather cast on separately and then sewn seamlessly into the crown making them look like part of the knot. Pretty neat!

Pattern Notes

The Edge of the Hat is worked in 1×1 ribbing, grafted together after tying a knot. Check length by tying a simple knot and wrap around head to make sure it fits around. Use either 3-needle bind off or other method (e.g.: grafting/kitchener) to seam the edge into a circle.

Stitches are picked up in the round plus cast on additional stitches to form the crown.

The most notable design detail is that the stitches at the knot were not picked up but cast on separately and then sewn to the crown seamlessly to make it look like part of the knot. Decreases at the crown are scattered to make the decreases less obvious except at the very top of the crown.
