PATTERN INFORMATION
The hat is knit from the bottom up, creating a double-folded hem that is then connected to the bottom of the hat to create a secure and thick brim. The crown of the hat is knit on the wrong side to just above the hem, after which the top of the hat is shaped with decreases. The finished hat features an extra-wide brim, consisting of 3 total layers, whilst the top of the hat remains thinner with just one layer.

MATERIALS
You can either work with a Worsted or an Aran weight yarn. Both yarn weights should meet the gauge below; Worsted creates a lighter, airier hat, whilst Aran will create a denser, heavier hat.
Yarn Option 1 (as see in the first two images)
83 (87, 89, 91)g of Viking Garn Mohrino (50g / 100m / 109yds; 50% young goat mohair, 40% merino wool,
9% polyamide).
or 166 (174, 178, 182)m / 182 (190, 195, 199)yds of worsted weight yarn.

Yarn Option 2
109 (114, 117, 119)g of Drops Melody (50g / 140m / 153yds; 25% Wool, 4% Polyamide / Nylon & 71% Alpaca) held twice together.
or 305 (319, 328, 333)m / 333 (348, 358, 364)yds of aran weight yarn.

Needles
5mm (US 8) double-pointed needles or circular needles on 40cm (16”) cables.

Notions

• Darning needle
• 6 removable stitch markers, including 1 unique colour for BOR
• Optional: elastic thread 2.5cm (1”) shorter than your head size, ideally the same colour as yarn

SIZING
1 (2, 3, 4) to fit head size 53-55 (56-57, 58-59, 60-62)cm / 20.75-21.75 (22-22.5, 22.75-23.25, 23.5-24.5)”
See finished measurements on page 2 for more details.

GAUGE
15 sts x 21 rows = 10 x 10cm (4 x 4”) in stockinette stitch on 5mm (US 8) needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.
Note: meeting stitch gauge is more important than row gauge since you’re knitting the length of the hat to measurements.
