This hat depicts the YinYang symbol in several directions.
The center front says “Wuji” for this is the beginning, prior to the TaiChi. In Taichi practice, you begin in “nothingness”, empty, before you start to play with the different energies of Yin and Yang.
The top of the hat shows the 8 Trigrams and their respective energy names.

This hat comes in two versions, one is a larger, slouch-type hat with two rows of symbols.
The second sample is a shorter, beanie-type hat that is more fitted.

Charts are given for both hats. Each chart has two parts to print and tape together for one continuous row.
