This pattern is available for free.

This hat pattern is written for use with any of our DK weight yarns for the main body,
and in each hat we have used our sock yarn held double for the brim.
This is because our sock yarn has an elastic core and offers greater stretch - keeping
the hats shape and holding it more securely on your head.
You can substitute the sock yarn for any yarn with elastic, or use your main yarn with
a strand of elastic/nylon for the same effect.
You can also use any DK yarn in your stash - you’ll need 60g max usually so great for using up srcraps!

You will need;
• 20g Pleiades Woolfree Sock Yarn
• Approx 40-60g DK yarn (Different DK yarns get a different amount of meters per
100g. We found each hat used 90 - 110m for the main body)
• 3.75mm DPN or circular needles
• Yarn needle for finishing
