Glossary
sl2tog, k1, p2sso (centered decrease):
slip the next two stitches together
knitwise, then knit 1, then pass the two
slipped stitches back over the k1 and
off the needle.
This quick and easy hat is a fabulous way to learn stranded knitting! Choose two
distinct colors to create a dramatic ombre effect or two similar shades for a graduated
blended effect.
