Spiraling Stripes Hat Set
self-released in December 2007: $4.50 [also sold in kits]
This pattern set includes 6 different patterns - wide straight brim, slanting brim, and no brim, each with spiraling clockwise and counter-clockwise versions. In addition to all these versions, the pdf also includes a page of variations, for making a more slouchy shape, and different striping options. These hats are a fun way to play with short-rows on a small scale; great for beginner knitters wanting to try something a little more complex!
there may be kits available in the leethal shop!
