The Annapurla hat is named after the 10th highest mountain in the world, and the highest massif in the Annapurna range, hovering at 8,091 m. This hat was inspired during a 15-day trek in 2016 through the beautiful Annapurna circuit in Nepal. Annapurna is derived from Sanskrit meaning “the giver of nourishment”.

This pattern is worked in the round and uses charted instructions for the main body of the hat. The finished hat measures 22 cm in length, and has a bit of a slouch. The brim can be rolled up if you prefer a snug fit!
