Gridlock

This delightful knitting pattern features a charming corrugated ribbing that keeps your ears snug and warm, while the playful intersecting stripes created by slipped stitches make for a fun and engaging knitting experience! Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern utilizes approximately 100 yards of each color, making it not only a perfect project for a single cozy hat but also allows for the creation of two beautiful hats when using the recommended yarns. Enjoy the satisfaction of creating unique accessories for yourself or as thoughtful gifts for loved ones.

A heartfelt thank you to my brother, my little one, and Lorelei for braving the chilly weather to model these hats in freezing conditions!

Important Errata (12.15.10): Please note that when beginning the main body of the hat, Rows 1 & 2 should include the instruction to "knit all remaining stitches in the row" following the slip-stitch directions. Any patterns downloaded after this date have been updated to reflect this correction. We appreciate your understanding and happy knitting!

Whether you're new to knitting or looking for your next project, this pattern promises to deliver both enjoyment and satisfaction as you create stylish knitwear that’s perfect for the colder months.
