A fast knit combines with speedy electric blue
cables racing along the length of a garter stitch
hat. A perfect introduction to stranded knitting
worked back and forth vertical stripes makes the
wrongside knitting just as easy as the rightside
knitting. Shaped with short rows and modular
construction this knit is quick and interesting.

PATTERN NOTES

worked in garter stitch using short rows for
shaping.
