“ A rhythmical pattern that packs a toasty punch! Much like thermal clothing, this waffled design traps in body heat, keeping you cozy. Knitted extra long, this hat can be folded over for a double insulated layer.”

“Pattern instructions are the same throughout for both sizes; the only difference is the needle size.”

“Hat is worked in rounds from bottom edge to crown. Switch from circular needles to double-pointed needles when necessary during crown shaping.”
