Sometimes I find that starting a project, without a pattern, can be really rewarding. It certainly was for this up coming, double-knit hat pattern - "Wheat and Reeds". I had wanted to make a double-knit hat so I had an extra warm hat for winter. So, I made a swatch to estimate my stitches and went for it! If, during the knitting, it didn't seem to work, I could always start over. But it ended up looking and feeling great! I can't wait to share it with you.
The first image is the "right side" of the hat that inspired the wheat naming. The second image is the other side of the hat that inspired the reeds naming.
I have to give my partner credit for the naming of this pattern; I was stuck and he just came up with "Wheat and Reeds" because the pattern reminded him of them. So thank you!
