This Is Now is a whimsical hat, a wearable reminder to enjoy life in the present. The hat’s brim is knit flat in garter stitch. The piece is then joined in the round for the striped stockinette body and crown. For a final flourish, the ends of the brim are “buttoned” together with two mini pompoms.
