CONSTRUCTION NOTES

The hat is knitted in rows, back and forth, using a short circular needle. After working the bottom band, a round of base triangles is worked, one at a time, to
reach a count of 11 stitches each. Then, rounds (or tiers) of squares are worked, one
at a time, each with a count of 12 stitches. In this manner, a slightly larger width of
the hat is achieved. When the tiers of squares are completed, the crown of the hat is worked back and forth and then the crown is seamed at the end. It is highly recommended to make a sample swatch to understand how to knit this entrelac technique.
