Working in a flat piece then seaming up the back and then cinching up the top, this hat is truly the easiest hat you will ever make. You’ll learn a new stitch that makes the fabric super cushy and warm and because of how the stitches are made, the seam will be invisible to the outside. Pick your favorite solid, tonal, gradient, or speckled yarn – the stitch will make the most of every look! This will truly become your Favorite Hat.
