This hat is inspired by the clamshell pattern, popular in Art Deco art and design in the 1920s and 30s. It is designed to coordinate with the Clamshell Cowl.

It is knitted in the round using two shades of DK yarn. It starts with a corrugated rib pattern before working the stranded colourwork design.
