Alden
Kyle William Designs | 2013

---

Inspired by geometric designs found in vintage quilt patterns, Alden   uses stranded knitting and alternating color changes to create a vibrant, graphic hat.  Change up the colors to create a bold, patriotic, or conservative version of this versatile design.

This pattern requires intermediate knitting knowledge including: provisional cast-on, working in the round, reading charts, simple stranded color work and decreasing, on circular and double point needles.
