Op. 12 Free Hat Pattern

Hi guys,

Happy Sunday.  Although it's not that sunny today, I do want to bright you some light and hope by offering a free knitting pattern today: Op. 12 Hat Knitting Pattern.  Hurrah!  I am quite pleased by the quality of the Mochi Plus yarn.  And besides this rainbow yarn, the other colorways are also very attractive and stunning.

Knitting Op. 12 is very easy.  Skills you need are the basics: circular knitting, cast on, knit, purl, P2tog and bind off by sewing.  The knit stitches I did for this pattern are rather loosely done.  The effect will be different if I have the knit stitches too tightened up.

Op. 12 Hat Pattern is an easy and fun knitting pattern.  All it needs is 1 ball of Mochi Plus.  It's good for beginner to practice on the basic skills.  P2tog is an easy way to stitch decreasing.  I will blog about this very soon.  

Anyway, I will go enjoy my last hours of this weekend.  Questions regarding this pattern? Feel free to contact me.
