Hat with needles

Today we will analyze the pattern that you liked so much and whose scheme you requested. It's not simple, but it has a secret. Don't be afraid of the large number of interweavings! The pattern is very, very simple - you only need to know how to knit knit and purl stitches.

And its charm lies in the fact that it is reversible. You knit one hat and get - two).

To knit this pattern, you will need a spare needle, as we will be knitting a 4x4 interweaving.

The pattern repeat is 14 stitches in width and 12 rows in height.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that when knitting this pattern in the round, the pattern repeat in height will be the same 12 rows, but you will need to knit it a little differently.

When knitting back and forth we knit the pattern according to the scheme. In even rows, we knit all stitches according to the pattern.

When knitting in the round, for example when knitting a hat or some other item, we will knit the crossings not in rows 5 and 11, but in rows 6 and 12. In even rows, we knit all stitches according to the pattern.
