A versatile hat pattern, knit slightly large for a slouchy fit with the option to fold the brim or with some negative ease for a more traditional fitted look. The reversible cable means that with careful weaving in of ends the hat can also be worn ‘in-side-out’.

To fit approximately:  Slouch – Prem (NB, 6mth, 12mth, Child, Adult, Lge Adult)  Fitted – NB (6mth, 12mth, Child, Adult, Lge Adult, Extra Lge Adult).  For a slouch fit choose a size which gives slight positive ease, for a fitted hat choose a size which gives 2.5-5cm/1-2” negative ease.  Sample size:  Grey - 60cm/23¼”  Blue – 55cm / 21¾”  Both modelled on a 56cm/22” head.
