The Clever Jester is a convertible accessory that can be worn as a hat, crown, or cowl. Directions are given for three sizes, small/baby, medium/child, and large/adult. The design is well-suited for creative use of color combinations. The hat closure can be handled in several ways; instructions are given for putting a single button through several loops and for putting several buttons, bells or knit cords through a single loop.

The title “Clever Jester” comes from the cowl’s resemblance to a jester’s collar and the fable of the clever jester.
