This hat is worked side to side in rows, combining a textured stitch pattern and a lace pattern to make the body of the hat and the ribbed brim at the same time. This is the simplest of hat constructions because you simply sew up the flat piece into a tube and cinch the crown closed. No shaping within the stitch pattern!

This hat is also featured in “24 Crochet Hats” book by Kristin Omdahl
