The Flamand Hat is a close-fitting unisex beanie worked from the bottom up in 2 × 2 rib. The elastic ribbed fabric creates a comfortable fit and makes the hat suitable for both women and men.
The carefully shaped crown follows the natural shape of the head, creating a neat, rounded finish without extra volume or a slouchy top. The pattern includes 2 sizes.
