A simple unisex design for all ages, this easy to knit hat creates texture and contrast using only knit and purl stitches. The brim, long but not tight fitting, can be shortened as needed. It would look great with a tassel or a pompom. Shorten the stockinette section and possibly the brim for a comfortable chemo hat.
