PATTERN NOTES
The Storm Dennis Kep begins with a provisional cast-on. After the ribbing, you work a 24-stitch Fair Isle repeat, and then using a single colour you decrease for the crown. You then pick up from the provisional cast-on, and work a Fair Isle brim, which is folded up over the ribbing. There are 3 different colourways, with slightly different pattern repeats, so make sure to work the correct charts. Finally, you create a tassel, either plain or multicoloured.
