Ritika Slouch Sport is a slouchy beanie knit in the round. This is the 5ply/Sport weight version of the Ritika Slouch, an 8ply/DK version of the Ritika pattern can be found here. It is knit from the bottom up, starting with a ribbed brim leading into the lace pattern that makes up the body of the hat. This lace is reversible and looks striking from either side, pattern page photos above shows the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ side of the knitting. For the crown decreases you will need to know how to work small circumference knitting in the round - either using magic loop or double pointed needles.
