DESIGN NOTES
This hat plays with striking contrasts, pairing a sleek, minimalist crown with a substantial, dramatic fold-over cuff. The cuff features an intricate, Nordic-inspired geometric diamond motif, creating a distinctive visual anchor and adding depth and character to the design.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
Worked in the round from the brim up. Brim is worked starting with the German twisted cast on and in main pattern read from chart. The body of the hat is then worked in one color in stockinette stitch, and decreases are used to shape the crown
