Plinth Hat is a fast and simple knit with an interesting construction. Start with a sideways knit garter brim for a rib effect, then work a simple texture over the front and back of the hat. Choose from 4 sizes and a beanie or slouchy length to knit up a hat for anyone on your gift list - just pick a solid or semi solid yarn in your recipient’s favorite color!
