Diamond Knit Hat Pattern
Diamond Knit Hat Pattern- a textured take on a basic hat!
This Diamond Knit Hat Pattern is deceptively easy! The diamond pattern is created using alternating knit and purl stitches. This hat features a ribbed brim and a slouchy shape.
This hat can be knit in an evening thanks to the super bulky yarn and large needles!
