Jali hat

One of the ways I learn my craft is by knitting patterns by other people. I have been interested in Barbara Walker's invention and exploration of something she calls Mosaic Knitting. Mostly I have worked objects in that technique flat, knitting back and forth. I wanted to work something in the round, and the most recent issue of Cast On magazine had a lovely hat pattern I thought would provide experience and inspiration. I was able to complete it in three days, and have some up with several ideas using other charts in the same technique that I hope to explore this fall and winter. This hat will be for LynnH, as the colors are those she especially likes.
