The shaping on this hat reminds us of something a Samurai warrior might wear–simple, functional, a bit daring…just garter stitch in the round, spiraling up to a subtle peak at the top. This marled version is worked by holding 4 ends of fingering weight yarn together, but you could also work a solid version using 1 end of our bulky weight yarn. Whether braving inclement weather or just going to the market, the Samurai hat will help you battle whatever stormy situations life might bring your way.
