Enez Mancel Hat is a winter classic with its 2x2 ribbed pattern. The simple unisex design can be worn in different ways to suit different tastes—you can roll up the brim or wear it slouchy.
What is wonderfully forgiving for sizing when knitting a hat? Ribbing.
This hat is basically all ribbing with some cables thrown in you’ve got a really stretchy hat that is going to work for a whole variety of head sizes. you will be knitting in the round on circular needles and with-out sewing.
The Enez Mancel hat is worked seamlessly from the brim up. It grows with the wearer and thanks to the ribbing, it is expandable and very flexible, could be knitted in meditative pace, any where (during commuting, out door trip, expect may be for cable round), and the top is shaped by decreasing the stitches at the back of the cable.
