Knit Kit - Manos Paper Bag Cap

Level - Intermediate

Despite the simple appearance of this hat, this pattern uses some intermediate techniques, including provisional cast-on, grafting/Kitchener stitch, and short rows. Apart from that, it is a great way to learn these techniques and many videos are available to support you. The hat is knitted sideways. The cast-on row runs vertically from the edge of the cuff to the top of the wearer’s head uses Fair Trade Manos del Uruguay Alegria Grande DK-Worsted weight superwash yarn.
