Product Description
A swirling leaf pattern that flows effortlessly from a twisted rib brim is further accentuated by the understated reverse-stockinette background.

Reversus Knit Hat by The Restless Knitter
What is Being Made
Reversus is an intermediate-level knitted hat pattern designed by Nichole Lubcke. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished hat suitable for a range of head sizes, requiring between 130 to 150 meters (142 to 165 yards) of yarn to complete the project.
Knitting Techniques Used
This pattern employs several fundamental and intermediate knitting techniques to construct the hat. The design utilizes in-the-round knitting, a method where stitches are worked circularly using markers to denote the start of each round. The pattern incorporates decreasing techniques to shape the crown of the hat, creating the fitted silhouette characteristic of a well-constructed hat. Stitch manipulation through techniques such as knitting through the back loop and purling through the back loop adds textural interest and structural integrity to the finished piece.
Stitches and Stitch Abbreviations
The Reversus pattern uses the following stitches and abbreviations:
- K – Knit
- P – Purl
- St/s – Stitch/es
- M – Marker

Materials: Yarn and Needles
The pattern recommends DK weight yarn (also known as 8ply), with suggested options including Augustbird Hand Dyed White Gum Wool and Augustbird Hearty DK. Both recommended yarns are 100% Merino wool – the White Gum Wool is ethically sourced superfine merino, while the Hearty DK is superwash merino for easy care. The White Gum Wool provides 236 meters or 258 yards per 100 grams, while the Hearty DK offers 211 meters or 231 yards per 100 grams.
