Incorporating a beautiful quilted stitch pattern and vibrant color changes, this design elegantly transitions colors throughout. At the top, a simple eyelet lace row allows for the threading of a removable i-cord, enabling you to cinch the top closed when wearing it as a hat. With this knitting pattern, you’ll not only create a lovely accessory but also enhance your knitting skills.
**Gauge**
To ensure a perfect fit, aim for 18 stitches and 26 rows per 4 inches when working the hex pattern flat, as described in the instructions below, and don’t forget to block your piece for the best results.
