Lovi hat was designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind. It features a wide rib texture and a double-layer brim that’s neatly attached to the cast-on edge. That means it stays exactly where it’s meant to, no shifting or slouching. The pattern includes five sizes and two yarn weights and is equally well-suited to neutral basics or pops of color. Whether you want a quick, satisfying knit or a wardrobe staple with a bit of flair, this hat delivers. Choose between two views:  A, a clean, minimalist version that lets the ribbing and dramatic crown shaping shine, or B, a more textured version with gentle garter stripes that add a little interest to the fabric.
