“Circumference at brim band 16in/41cm unstretched, 12in/30cm in length from brim edge to crown…”

“This hat is a nice departure from hats knit in the round. It uses a crochet provisional cast-on and Kitchener stitch seaming to graft an almost undetectable join. If these techniques are not in your wheelhouse, try a long-tail cast on and traditional bind-off, then sew the seam up from the inside.”

“Hat is knit flat in short-row wedges, beginning with a provisional cast-on, then seamed with Kitchener stitch.”
