HEMISPHERES
A sweet little geometric hat that plays with colors, lines, and circles. The perfect study for intarsia knitting as you create the tri-color body with alternating colored hemispheres. Knit entirely flat and seamed, or knit the hat body flat then pick up stitches to knit the brim in the round. Great for scrap busting!
