The Reticolo (re'tikolo) hat was designed using a stitch pattern reminiscent of open-air lattice roofs and the sky beyond — creating such an amazing texture. The stitches create this complex-looking crisscross lattice that is quite simple to work. Knit in our Alice (DK) yarn base, this hat can be finished in short order; making it a fabulous last minute gift.
