Rhuska-hat has a double folded brim to keep you warm during the cold weather. The fabric is really stretchy and fits variety of head sizes. The hat is worked in the round in Fisherman’s Rib from the brim up holding two strands of fingering wt yarn together with one strand of Kidsilk. With a little trick both the folded brim and the hat body show the right side. You can also substitute the fingering yarn with single strand of worsted wt yarn.
