Plait Hat

By: Karen Templer from fringeassociation.com

"Knitted with three strands of worsted-weight yarn, Plait Hat has a darling braided loop up top. It's also a great stash-buster, as you could knit it with 3 different yarns for a marl effect."

This is a really interesting hat. It is simple to make and is rather basic, but the little loop at the top changes it up just enough to grab your attention. It makes it easy to just pull off, and gives it a way to be hung up to dry. You could even make up cute little accessories to add to it for children.
