VIDEO
This Moonstruck Knits video tutorial shows you how to create the puff stitches.

CONSTRUCTION
Khione is worked from the brim up and features a double-folded brim for extra warmth and structure.
The brim is composed of two sections of 1x1 rib on the inside, with a Puff Stitch Rib section sandwiched between them on the outside. This construction ensures a snug, cozy fit around the ears and allows the Puff Stitch Rib to flow seamlessly into the body of the hat.
You begin with a 1x1 rib section, then work the Puff Stitch Rib, followed by a second 1x1 rib section. After this, the work is turned inside out so the Puff Stitch Rib appears on the outside and continues through the body. The crown is shaped with decreases that are worked in pattern.
