Through the Eyes of a Machine Knitter
Take a simple hat shape (it's just a rectangle), add a beautiful stitch pattern, play with color and you'll have a quick-to-knit-on-the-machine project!
Hand knitters would be amazed that we can knit this in an afternoon.(ha!)
One of the best parts of using hand knitting patterns for inspiration are the color choices. This gorgeous hat from Universal yarns is offered in 2 colorways.
The gathered top makes the knitting even easier. No ribber? Hand knit the ribbing or hang a hem... you're the designer!
