NOTES
This cosy hat with a large double folded brim is knitted in a simple stitch pattern that makes a striking texture effect. The hat is a matching companion for the Upon a Pine Mitts. The pattern design for both was inspired by the pine trees, their look and feel, resulting in a fun texture reminding of pine trees and pine needles on the forest floor crossing one over the other.

It is a fun, easy and fast going pattern. The hat knits up in no time and keeps your interest with the changing simple stitch pattern design. A great accessory for the colder days to keep you warm. It also makes a great gift.
