About the design:
The Student hat is made by knitting in the round from the bottom up, with a fixed brim. The body of the hat is a 1x1 rib that transitions into a symmetrical decrease at the crown. This design requires no seaming, making it an almost effortless project with a few special techniques to maintain your interest.
Are you going to be able to knit it in less than 2 days? Let me know!
SKILLS:
To tackle this knitting pattern, you'll need to have a grasp of the basics such as knit and purl stitches, casting on, and binding off. Additionally, you should be comfortable with working in the round using circular needles, mastering the German twisted long-tail cast-on, and finishing off with a yarn needle. The pattern also incorporates straightforward decreases for shaping.
