To use this knitting pattern, start by choosing your yarn. You can use the recommended Madelinetosh Tosh Sport or the yarn shown in the project, Lichen & Lace Rustic Heather Sport. Begin knitting from the brim of the hat and work your way up to the crown using the brioche and cable stitches described in the pattern. When it comes to care, hand - wash the finished hat in cool water and lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Make sure to follow the stitch patterns carefully as they are key to achieving the unique honeycomb look. Enjoy creating your one - of - a - kind honey - colored hat!
