[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Very easy colorwork hat

[carcione at access.net]

I just finished a very nice hat in 2 colors with a diamond pattern.  It uses
the same technique as the slip-stitch cowl we did in our knit-along earlier
this spring.  It was really easy.  Just work 2 rows in one color, slipping
stitches where the pattern says to, then work 2 rows in the other color,
following the pattern.  People in my in-person knitting group didn't believe
me when I said it was easy, but I really think anyone who can knit, purl,
and count could do it.  

The pattern is called ManHATtan.  Notice the clever capitals.  It was around
$10 on Ravelry.  

I made my first one with a dark brown as the main color and a red for the
contrast.  I plan to make more.

I think the slip-stitch technique is called mosaic knitting.  It's way
easier than stranded colorwork, like Fair Isle.
