He's No Angel Hat Pattern


While this hat may look tricky it is not. It is a slip stitch pattern so you only work with one color per row. You can see the image of a person with wings in the multicolor in the center on either side upside down in black are also people with wings. This hat is super easy to work! Even though the needles are slightly smaller than what I usually work with this hat still knits up super duper fast!!!

Supplies:

  • Worsted Weight Yarn (2 colors) Main Hat Color (MC) and Contrasting Color (CC)
  • Size 6 Knitting Needles (You are knitting back and forth not in the round)
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Stitch Markers

IMPORTANT NOTE: ON ALL ODD ROWS SLIP STITCHES WITH YARN IN BACK, ON EVEN NUMBERED ROWS SLIP STITCHES WITH YARN IN FRONT!

Cast on 90 stitches with MC and do 1-2" of K1, P1, Ribbing. On last row of Ribbing Work 30 stitches, Place a marker, Work 30 stitches, Place a marker, Work 30 stitches.
