The Hugo hat was inspired by a cadet’s cap, and is the perfect thing to ward off the fall chill. Four colors of City Tweed DK are knit in a textured slip stitch pattern designed to resemble wool suiting fabric. The hat is knit in pieces and the brim is stabilized with interfacing to ensure that it keeps its shape. The solid blue band above the brim is secured with buttons. The finished hat has a 22” circumference, but there is an option to add elastic to adjust the size.
