Saji Hat is an easy top-down hat starting with Circular Cast On method that can be made with just one DK ball.
The advantage of knitting from the top-down is that you can adjust the length of the brim, folded or unfolded.

The pattern combines Saji motif and lace rib stitch
used in my Saji Sweater.
These lacy stitches are cute and fun to knit!

By the way, Saji means spoon in Japanese.
