Joni is worked using a number of color-work techniques. The herringbone section is created with traditional stranding. Slipped stitches are used on the vertically striped bands that flank the herringbone and the crown is adorned with classic stripes. Have fun experimenting with color & yarn texture on this hat. Your imagination is your only limit.
