Pattern and Techniques

The hat is knitted seamlessly on circular needles from bottom to top using a half patent rib pattern. The knitting sequence includes:

• Left earflap (turning knitting)
• Right earflap (turning knitting)
• Connecting the earflaps through cast-on stitches on the back of the head (turning knitting)
• Visor (turning knitting)
• Joining the main part and visor in circular knitting
• Decreases when knitting the crown (circular knitting)
• Kettle stitch edging (circular knitting)
• Ties knitted on double pointed needles

The knitting is worked with the wrong side facing out for ease. The number of stitches remains the same for both yarn types; differences occur in row count due to row density.

Care Instructions

Wash in cool water. Dry laid out flat in natural conditions. Note that the fabric stretches significantly after washing; maintain size when drying.
