Dots and Lines Hat - a knitting pattern

Doodle around with Dots and Lines, and a single skein of DK will be transformed into a warm, slouchy hat that’s fun to knit. The engaging pattern stitch features cluster-like dots staggered along long spines of rib. Let the rich texture speak for itself by using a solid or tonal yarn, and leave the top bare or punctuate it with a coordinating or contrasting pompom.
