PATTERN FOR A HAT

This relief pattern is called both «honeycombs» and «bubbles», as well as puffs. There are different ways to knit it. You can knit a solid fabric, or you can use threads of 2 colors, for example, blue and gray. One of the methods is outlined below.

Rows 1 and 2, 7 and 8 — use gray yarn (the color is your choice; you can simply use a thin thread, the pattern will only benefit from it).

The rapport is 4 stitches + 1 stitch for symmetry plus edge stitches (but they are not included in the description).

The relief pattern consists of 12 rows.

Row 1: all knit stitches;

Row 2: 1 purl, *2 purls, yarn over and slip 1 stitch together with it, 1 purl.*

Change yarns if knitting with two colors and continue:

Row 3: *1 knit, another yarn over — on the stitch with the yarn over from the previous row, 2 knits,* 1 knit;

Row 4: 1 purl, *2 purls, another yarn over, 1 purl.*;

Row 5: *1 knit, yarn over, 2 knits,* 1 knit;

Row 6: 1 purl, *2 purls, knit all yarn overs with the stitch, 1 purl*;

Row 7: all knit stitches (don't forget to change yarns if knitting with two colors);

Row 8: 1 purl, *yarn over and slip 1 stitch, 3 purls*;

Row 9: *3 knits, yarn over*, 1 knit;

Row 10: 1 purl, *1 yarn over, 3 purls*;

Row 11: *3 knits, 1 yarn over*, 1 knit;

Row 12: 1 purl, *knit the stitch with all yarn overs, 3 purls*.
