Hihiko, Māori for speed and swiftness, perfectly embodies this hat, a quick and breezy knit that can be completed in a day or two. The Hihiko hat features an intricate Japanese lace paneling that shapes into a star formation at the crown.
One of the amazing things about intricate lace patterns, especially in hats, is how they shorten the knitting process. Maybe it’s because they engage our minds, eyes, and fingers at the same time, demanding that we fully dive into the process of knitting. Even when away from the project, it tempts our hands with a call of “one more row.”
Knit up the Hihiko hat using a skein of sport-weight yarn in a solid color to emphasize the lush pattern of the lace.
