The knitting is the reason this page takes longer than its neighbors. Vertical rib lines run from the cuff to the crown, dividing the dome of the hat into a row of narrow panels, and the turned up cuff below is ribbed the same way in shorter strokes. A round pompom made of small radiating bumps sits on top.

All those ribs add up. Thirty three closed shapes are on the page and a good share of them are the thin hat panels, so this sheet suits somebody with a fine pencil and a bit of patience. Working the ribs in an alternating pair of shades is the quickest way to make the knit read as wool rather than as a plain dome.

The koala underneath is drawn plainly on purpose. Two large ears push out from under the cuff on either side, the face carries a tall blank muzzle, two round eyes with highlights and a short smile, and the body is left open from the shoulders down. Both paws come together low at the front, and the two feet spread into pads with toe circles above them.
