Seed Stitch Hat
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE:
16 sts + 28 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Seed stitch. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

This is a great hat for showing off a beautiful yarn. I used a bright colored ombre just like the pattern called for and the seed stitch really shows it off. Pattern was a little tricky toward the end with the decreasing, but at least maintains the seed stitch pattern and looks great.
