The Firebreak Trail hat is a laid back take on the classic slouchy ribbed hat. The construction is bottom up, knit in the round, and a simple bind off. The hat body is a broken ribbing from a two line repeat creating deep hills and valleys with lots of stretch.

I’d love to see your hat! Tag me FB and IG @Bluestockinette
