The LOMA hat is a versatile hat pattern that’s fun and varied to knit. Its visually striking effect is created simply by changing colors every round and working 1x1 rib throughout. The pattern is easy to follow and includes plenty of helpful tips and tricks as well as video tutorials. This design is both practical and stylish, with a textured stitch pattern that adds visual interest. You will start at the brim and work the entire hat in the round, shaping the crown with decreases.
