This is my kind of hat…lots of contrast and a top that works

The bottom stitch was curling, so I picked up from the back of the first rows of garter stitch and did some k1, p1 ribbing up the inside of the headband.  It both made the bottom behave and made it squishy and extra warm.  Being in the middle of a COLD snap, it came in handy the other day.  I actually wore it.  And for those that don’t know, I almost never wear hats.

I used Rippled Chevron and Three-and-One Check from page 77, on 112 stitches.
