Hideous Hat

This is a monstrosity, but I love the new stitch I learned.  It's call the basket weave stitch.  It's used a lot on blankets and, apparently, on hats.  I'm not sure what I'll use the stitch for next, but I know it won't be on this horrible hat.  Ugh.

The stitch is made on Row 1 with a yarn over, slipped stitch, knit one, yarn over, then pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch and the 2nd yarn over.  On Row 2, you drop the slipped stitch off the needle, then knit everything else.  

That part was fun.  Now to find a decent project to use it on.
