Knitting Sockhead as written but with the length of Torsion with the twist.

Glad I ultimately went with the double ribbed brim (put equal amount of ribbing, about three inches, on each end of hat and then used 3 needle bind to connect them) because it’s rather heavy for a hat. The double ribbing, vs a stockinette fold over brim, provides extra grip.

I love the hat but it’s an incredibly tedious knit. Not something I’m going to make again. It’s not a color preference of mine but super hipster and adorable, perfect for a cool teen living in an awesome town. That being said, just as I was binding off, it came to my attention that the intended recipient has a terrible wool allergy. So I’m now gifting it to my favorite Starbucks barista and then knitting for myself before taking the plunge into version 2.0 Solstice gift.

Sigh.
