I channeled my inner Lara from Dr Zhivago while working up this sample. Knit on large needles using a fun faux fur, it was easy to imagine myself in a horse drawn carriage flying through the early 20th century Russian countryside. Whatever fantasy it stirs up in you, you are sure to stay warm and cozy in this double-brimmed hat.

Knit in the round from the bottom up, the brim is knit to double your desired height. At the end, you will fold the brim up in half and sew it closed. The top is knit in a flat, solid yarn, meant to evoke the fur and leather hats of colder climes and days gone by.

The sample used 2/3 skein of Furreal and 1/2 skein Encore Mega.
