Medallions and smocking details give this hat wonderful visual appeal! The main body is knit horizontally and then joined into a circle. Stitches are picked up around the top edge to finish the hat. Brim edge rolls up to show face framing cable. Braid embellishment is optional.

Excellent Tip from Fleur-Ange Lefebvre - If you prefer to do a three-needle bind-off - consider doing a provisional cast-on. She says “I did it with the wrong sides facing for the first 14 stitches for the rolled up brim, then flipped it inside out to do the rest.” Many thanks to Fleur-Ange for this wonderful suggestion!
