Sometimes it’s all about the yarn. The various reds and purples and the darker black variegation in the Festivus calls for simple lines and a classic hat. This cap showcases a slip-stitch rib that adds a subtle change in stitch length and depth; the brim ribbing and crown decreases are worked to highlight the featured rib. Adjusting for width or depth on this hat is easy and the generous yardage leaves enough extra yarn for a big, festive pom on top! Sample is shown in size M/18.25 inches.**

Yardage requirement: 150(175,200)yds/137(160,183)m needed for hat, without pom. Pom shown weighs 16g
