~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slip-stitch dots and dashes form a cable illusion in the cozy Telegraph cap (or slouch). The hat is constructed in the round from the brim to the crown. Modifications for a slightly slouchier version are provided in the pattern. The slip-stitch colorwork motif uses only one color per round and is a perfect way to add color to your knits without stranding.

The colorwork pattern is the same one used in the Endpapers cardigan. You can practice on the hat, and then “graduate” to the cardi!

The slip-stitch pattern is both written and charted.
