A red hat with a white brim and a round white pompom, bent to the side, on deep green, worked with three threads. It is 18 knots wide and 20 rows long.
The hat leans to the right, so follow the diagonal edge row by row.
How to use this pattern
This pattern is 18 knots wide, so cut 18 base strings, one for every knot across. Then cut one leading string for each of the 3 colors in the thread list. The busiest color is A (DMC 500, 182 knots), so give it the longest leading string.
Tie the rows from the top. Odd rows are tied left to right with forward knots, and even rows right to left with backward knots. The guide shows each thread's path, ticks off finished rows and walks you through the band one knot at a time.
This pattern has never been knotted on real thread, and the colors on screen are close matches to DMC floss, not exact ones. Compare them with your real skeins before you start.
