This hat takes advantage of the same stitch pattern as the cardi, alternating between the dot & reverse dot stitch patters to add textured stripes.

Work either the beanie or the slouch.

Make the ribbing 3.5in / 9cm if you’d like to have a folded brim; rather than working k2, p1, work p2, k1 so that the 2x1 rib shows once folded.

Yarn
Malabrigo Rios, 100% Superwash Merino Wool, 210 yds / 100g, 1 skein for Women’s Beanie, 2 skeins for all others

Notions
