For those who don't like stranding, this hat is worked with slipped sts, and only one color is worked at a time across any given row. The slipped stitch technique makes the hat extra warm, as it pulls the rows tighter together to form a more compact fabric. It also creates a gentle wave effect instead of a zig-zag that you would get from working it in the Fair Isle technique.
Difficulty Level: Late beginner
