The NIMBUS hat is a classic hat with an elastic band that is suitable for both women and men, an ideal hat for the whole family.
The hat is knitted from the bottom up with an elastic band. For an elastic edge, the loops are cast on using the Tubular Cast On method. Before decreasing, knit in the round on circular needles. The decreases at the crown of the hat are knitted on double-pointed knitting needles.
