Auckland Bound
This hat is quite special to me – it was designed during the first planning stages of a (hopeful!) family trip abroad, and each stitch was made with the excitement and anticipation of this journey. It was designed with an adventurer’s spirit, and with this free pattern I hope to pass this spirit along to other knitters.
The body of this hat is knit in a simple broken rib stitch, and it features a favorite method of mine – the folded brim. Using a Provisional CO, sts from the CO edge are later picked up to create a permanently folded brim that is both flexible and extra-toasty.
