There’s a new kind of ribbing in town. Columns of single crochet worked in the front and back loops make for a stretchy hat with clean lines and great texture. Optional stripes add a sporty touch and look great in team colors. Stripeless versions are reversible.

Syncline is worked from the bottom up; edge options include a simple chain edge, narrow band, or wide band. Instructions include technique illustrations and decrease chart.

The Syncline Hat looks good on any gender, and makes a great gift for someone you love!
