Using a variation of scroll stitch knit in the round, the fabric of this pretty hat appears to gently undulate like the petals of a flower opening, through strategic yarnover increases and decreases.

This pattern is perfect for most lightweight sock yarns: hand-dyed, kettle-dyed, self-striping, you name it. If you have a sock yarn in your stash that is lonely and begging for attention, this is the pattern.

Blocking is recommended; specific instructions are included in the finishing section.
