This perfect beginner hat is kicking off our series of new patterns inspired by local transit lines! The N Judah light rail runs right in front of our studio in San Francisco, making it the obvious choice for our new hat. If this is your first hat, new skills include knitting in the round and using double pointed needles. Customize it with options for a folded brim and a pom pom.
