This hat was in part inspired by the well known Musselburgh pattern by Ysolda Teague, with my own stranded colorwork twist and different crown shaping. The Hat for Zoe is knit from tip to tip to create an oblong tube which is folded into itself to create a double-layered beanie. The stranded knitting colorwork begins before you decrease near the end of the pattern. This hat is fully reversible, so you could fold it inwards the opposite way to have a solid color beanie.
