and finally there is Tensfield by Martina Behm (of Hitchhiker Scarf and Hat fame)
The concept is easy, once you have the idea. It is that original idea that is so interesting. This hat can be knit in any weight yarn for any size head.
You start with knitting a triangle –
the triangle side
when it fits around your head you join the triangle in a circle
the side where the triangle is joined
after which you apply some basic arithmetic to calculate how many stitches are going to be in each section of knitting
looking where it starts to wrap
which leaves you at the end with a small area of three needle bind off and a top that looks a bit like the Hitchhat.
