In honor of the Foothill Indians and their basketry skills, this colorful mosaic, slipped stitch pattern reminds us of our cultural heritage in Northern California.

PATTERN NOTES:

1. You will have enough yarn to make two hats or a hat and a cowl if you switch MC and CC on each item.
2. Switch to DPNs as necessary when working the crown of the hat or use longer circular needle for Magic Loop.
3. Placing a stitch marker between chart patterns is helpful.
