This is a pattern from Knitty.com. The designer says “This lace hat was inspired by my two favorite things about the fall: cool, crisp weather, and beautifully-colored leaves. This hat is worked from the top down, and the increases for the crown shaping are integrated into the lace pattern.”

Wool Dyeing 3

Learn to make seams that virtually disappear into the knitting. In this class you will learn five joining and seaming techniques plus pointers on picking up stitches, tucking in ends and planning stitch patterns for smooth joins. You will need a set of swatches – instructions available when you register. Have a project ready to finish? Bring it to class and start the seams as you learn on the swatches. If you have already taken this class but you have a project you want to finish, just bring it and skip the swatches.
