What makes the OutsideIn Hat so special? It allows for a change any time you feel you need it.
You can decide whether you wish to wear it on the right or wrong side. It is also possible to remove the pompom and wear the hat without it or add another pompom to get a different look. Having two-sided hat and several replaceable pompoms, you get a versatile accessory for everyday use.

The OutsideIn Hat is a match to InsideOut Hat, which is based on the same stitch concept but has a slightly different shape allowing for putting it on with one hand.
