FiFi Hat
The stitch design of this hat is so beautiful. The picture does not do it justice. And guess what ? It is a 2 row repeat. Happy hooking!
The FiFi Hat is worked from the ribbing to the crown
The ribbing does not stretch much. It is important to make a starting chain that fits comfortably around your head
- ribbing band: made by alternating between fpdc and bpdc (8 rounds)
- body of hat: work pattern for (13 rounds)
- decrease for crown (6 rows)
yarn used: Lion Brand Heartland color Bryce Canyon
hook size: 4.5 mm hook
The stitch pattern calls for a multiple of six
