Thebes Hat is made from the squishiest 100% Organic wool yarn. It is knitted in the round, bottom up. Short rows are used while working the brim to slightly elongate it at the sides and back so as to cover the ears and protect them from the cold.

Thebes Hat can be worn by both men and women. It is a quick and easy knit that has that extra detail to make your knitting interesting and your final piece very wearable and cosy!
