Unusual sideways construction and a fun change-of-pace for the brim means you never get bored (but it’s not remotely tricky). The shape gives it class and the stripes give it sass … or is it the other way around?

Whether it reads Elven warrior or variation on Gnome Hat, it’s just a little different, and a good stashbuster … feel free to swap colours in and out as desired!

Fits any head since you stop when it’s the right size, with real measurements rather than gauge.

It’s knit in a triangle, then the brim is picked up, but only one stitch at a time, phew!
