Proof Hat
The Proof Hat is a traditional beanie with graphic modern texture. The tubular double-ribbed brim flows into a motif of crisscrossing forked ribs. Channels of cartridge rib add a second layer of deep texture to create a striking unisex cap. Pair this satisfying knit with the Proof Scarf for a matched set or work up a bevy of hats to try out all the shades of Arbor or Dapple that speak to you.
We hand-selected some of our all-time favorite hat patterns by Jared from the BT archives — get all 5 patterns for the price of 4 and have all your gift knitting needs covered. Purchase the five-pattern bundle on BrooklynTweed.com and pay $8 less than the sum of the single patterns purchased separately. This bundle includes BT staples Lucerne, Skipp, Forge, Proof, Burnaby.
