    Textured Tiles

    Another hat for the Just Playing Around ebook.

    Not too difficult, just interesting enough to engage the mind. And a perfect pattern for any gender. Knit it in one of the bright bold colours that I love. One like the Reywa Embrace sample or knit it in a classic, naturally coloured wool, this hat will please anyone on your list. The yarn weight is DK, making the hat a lovely trans-seasonal choice, cozy on a cool evening any time of year.

    Cables and travelling stitches move up the garter stitch background, creating “tiles” out of the moving stitches. The garter stitch background pulls the hat down and shortens the body, if knit with a purl background the hat may become deeper. Let me know what happens if you try that out.

    Textured Tiles as shown is a slouchy toque, but a beanie option is also included in the instructions.

    I hope that you enjoy.

    Be well and Knit Happy!

    Why not try working the hat in this eye popping Peony colourway.
