The subtle differences in these two hats make for fun knitting! Even the yarn choice was made with gender in mind. Inca Gold is a yummy blend of merino & silk, making it a perfect choice for Feminine, and Blackstone Tweed is a rugged, textured tweed yarn, sure to please any picky man!

The striping sequence is also different for both hats, Feminine with her row of delicate eyelets, and Masculine with his two manly garter stitch ridges.

The decreases make a big difference too, with Masculine and his square crown, and Feminine with her pretty swirl crown. This is a hat pattern sure to please either sex. Use the combination in different ways to come up with a truly original hat!
