BENNO Hat

The simple pompom hat with a 2/2 rib pattern can be worn by both women and men and is guaranteed to keep you warm thanks to the double brim.

The hat is worked bottom up, in rounds, using a short circular needle and with a provisional cast-on for the double brim. The provisional cast-on is used when the brim is folded and fixed by knitting the sts together. The decreases for the crown of the hat are worked on dpns (double pointed needles).

Techniques used: Provisional cast-on, left- and right leaning decreases. All techniques used are explained directly in the instructions.
