The Budapest hat is a simple and minimalistic piece worked from the bottom up to the crown seamlessly. It features decorative and clever double decreases, which makes the hat totally reversible. It’s definitely your next cold-weather wardrobe staple. As usual, video tutorials will help you throughout the pattern mastering all special techniques. This ribbed hat should wear with about 15-18 cm / 6-7” negative ease to allow a comfortably snug fit. To select best size, meas around wearer’s forehead and subtract desired amount of negative ease, then pick the finished hat circumference closest to that number. Suggested finished hat length is about 2.5-3.75 cm / 1-1.5” longer than actual head depth, which is meas from bottom of the ear to top of the head.
