Get Garter - Pixie
(PDF download)additional taxes may apply
A sideways-knit pixie Hat is similar to a beanie, with short rows either worked at a lower rate or at the same rate, with less panels worked, to create the pointy tip. Simple and oh so cute.
Available as a single pattern or as part of the Get Garter collection.
Get Garter is an entry-level guide to sideways Hat knitting.
Six different constructions are explained, supplemented with thorough explanations of the underlying structure and maths, empowering you to venture beyond the pattern and create your own unique Hats.
