Buena Park’s plush, hemmed brim provides double-layered warmth over the ears. The hat is worked in the round from the bottom up beginning with a provisional cast-on. The Twist Rib pattern in the brim transitions and continues into a Twist Honeycomb pattern on the crown.

The hat has a textured pattern with floats on the wrong side and is fully reversible. The pattern includes both Average and Large Adult sizing.

Written instructions. Charts are also included for stitch patterns and Crown Decreases; they are intended to supplement, not replace, the written instructions.
