The Coll Hat (pronounced roughly ‘Coll’, Irish for Hazel), features a travelling stitch panel, over a striped garter stitch background. Worked in the round, it begins with a ribbed brim in the main colour, before moving on to the travelling stitch motif. One colour is worked per round, with pattern stitches slipped on contrast colour rounds.
