Pattern Nimbus Hat

Light, easy-knit 1×1 rib hat with a clean, modern look.

Nimbus Hat is worked in the round from brim to crown and is fully reversible: the crown decreases are neat and graphic on both sides, so you get two looks in one. The stretchy rib gives a comfortable, secure fit for a wide range of sizes and works equally well as a unisex everyday hat or a simple, stylish gift.
