Grey Skies and cold weather are common during the winter in Milwaukee. Slip stitches on the brim give this hat added warmth with a double thickness with no visible edge. The double moss stitch on the body of the hat adds texture and visual interest.

This is a great one skein project. To change stitch count to adjust the hat circumference, add or subtract the number of cast on stitches in groups of two.

Hat Dimensions (as written): One Size made to fit an average 22” circumference head.
