Mollig Hat Knitting Pattern English

Mollig is a reversible double-layered hat, knitted in stockinette stitch using the Seamless Intarsia Technique to create colourful abstract shapes without the need to seam the hat in the end. 

One side of the hat is covered with lots of shapes, while the other side is mostly plain with only three shapes. You can play with both sides, fold the brim or not, depending on your mood or your daily color scheme.

Seamless intarsia is worked back and forth, similar to regular intarsia. The only difference is that you wrap both yarns flanking the marker at the beginning of every row. The yarns stay wrapped until the end of the row, where they create a regular intarsia join.
