There are so many fun twists and turns all the way up through the crown with this pattern! I designed Serpentine with a textured, garter stitch brim packed with horizontal squiggles to play off of the vertical wiggles in the body of the hat. But if you prefer a traditional ribbed brim, I have you covered with instructions for that as well! No matter which brim option you choose, I hope you have the best time as you work through the body of the hat and finish with that bold, two-toned crown—it just might even be too fun to cover up with a pom. Did I say that out loud?
