Garter stitch and stockinette stitch alternate in a perfect symmetrical way to give a neat, yet original twist to the aviator hat pattern!

This aviator hat could be used as a photography prop or warm up your little traveler during the autumn and winter.
Girly or boyish colours, classical, timeless or funky colours, it is yours to decide ! You could even line the hat with some polar fabric for more warmth.

The earflaps and front flap are knitted flat, then everything is smoothly and effortlessly join together so you can continue knitting in the round.
