This cap’s highly textural fabric is created using basic knit and purl stitches worked in combination. The stitch pattern is echoed in the envelope-fold crown, adding just the right amount of slouch to the hat.
And as with most knit and purl textures, this one is completely reversible. No matter how many times this hat gets turned inside out, it always looks great.
