Al Fresco
Reminiscent of a painting done on plaster this stitch pattern combines seed stitch squares and little columns of cables. At the crown seed stitch continues in the midst of tapering cables.
Very flattering shape for many.
This hat is a relaxing project and has a high potential to be your favorite hat.
In case of not very elastic yarn, hold a separately purchased clear elastic thread as you knitting ribbing. This will help to make brim tighter.
