Chequey Hat Pattern

Knitting Pattern Digital Download: Chequey Hat

If you’re mad for plaid but want a straightforward and not-too-fussy knit, Chequey has you covered both figuratively and literally, with a hat that will keep you warm and cozy!

With the motif set out as diamonds rather than squares, longer strands are kept to a minimum, and the tension is more easily kept even. Chequey uses just two colours to keep this classic graphic colourwork simple yet striking with broad appeal.
