Enfold is a classic 2 x 2 rib hat knitted entirely double for a cosy, chunky look that shields you from the cold and wind. You can style it as a tall beanie with a narrower fold-over brim or a fitted style with a wide, plush cuff. You can also use the same pattern to knit a single-layer version, either top-down or bottom-up.

NOTES
The hat is knitted as a closed tube, with the lower half pushed inside the upper half to create a fully double-layer hat. The work begins at the crown with shaping increases, followed by a straight body section, and finishes with crown decreases back to the original stitch count. The height of the hat can be adjusted either by changing the width of the fold-over brim in the final hat or by trying the hat on as you go and modifying the length of the straight section to your preference.
