A hat that’s actually 2 hats in 1! Wear it as a brimmed beanie for double warmth around the ears, or unfold the rib section and you have a comfy slouch hat.

The bulky yarn is knit down on a smaller than usual needle size to get a tight ribbing and protect from the chilly winter winds.

This pattern has been a favorite at String for years. It is available for free with yarn purchase (cashmere or merino, your choice) at www.stringyarns.com or in my ravelry store.
