TECHNIQUES

Weekends at the Cabin Hat is a great hat knitting pattern for knitters of every level who are comfortable with knitting, purling, and working in the round. New-to-you techniques within this pattern may include slipped cross stitches and decreases.
 
If you are unfamiliar with slipped cross stitches, they are a simplistic cable - and in my tutorials I even show you how to work them without a cable needle!
 
All of my patterns include clear, step-by-step instructions and linked video technique tutorials that walk you through the pattern with confidence. I am also available for pattern support if you have questions.
