Hello Knitters! I am looking for testers for a new hat pattern called Honeycomb Hive hat. I need testers to check the clarity and accuracy of the pattern, and to create a project page with photos and link it to the pattern once it is published. Testers are welcome to test any of the sizes provided on the pattern.
Honeycomb Hive Hat is a close fitting hat with little ‘ears’ that are decorated with pom poms. A double layer band and 2-color honeycomb stitch pattern create dense fabrics that will keep your head nice and toasty warm. The hat is worked from the bottom up in the round. With no shaping and an intuitive stitch pattern, this hat is a relatively easy knit. The top of the hat is finished with a three needle bind off. Honeycomb Hive Hat is sized to fit the whole family. When choosing your size, it is recommended to have 2” negative ease. Sample shown in Adult S.
