Royal Quilting Hat

Craft: Knitting

This wonderful 2-color pattern is surprisingly easy especially worked in the round. Strands or floats are laid down on the right side of the fabric and then a couple rows later you lift the strand and catch it in a stitch to form the slightly draped diagonal lines. The finished fabric seems to be two layers, an underlying layer of plain stockinette with a scrim of diamond shapes nesting comfortably on top.
