About the pattern

In the style of a classic watchman’s cap, the ManHATtan is a reversible ribbed beanie. It features a twisted rib on one side, and a traditional 1x1 rib on the other. The crown is split into five sections using paired decreases, giving the top a nice symmetry. The unisex design and simple construction make this a great project to give as a gift or donate to your favorite charity.
