A quick knit hat that makes use of silk/mohair in a unique way! The all-over pattern is created with slipped stitches, forming a subtle dot-and-dash motif.

CONSTRUCTION: A long brim that can be doubled is worked first before the hat transitions into an easy-to-memorize slipped stitch pattern. Crown shaping is worked into the
stitch pattern so it continues uninterrupted to the crown.

SIZES: XS (S, M, L) to fit Kids (Adult S, Adult M, Adult L); finished unstretched brim circumference of 14 (16, 18, 20)”/ 35.5 (40.5, 45.5, 51) cm
