Notes:

1. Hat is worked in the round with 2 Tunisian hooks. Hat can be worked flat with one hook and seamed at the back. If doing so add 1 extra stitch at foundation and TSS in it at the end of each forward pass.
2. Also, if working the hat flat consider working 3 yarns for a marbled look; instead of the main color in the forward pass and contrasting colors in the return pass. Much less ends to weave in, see video tutorial.
3. Foundation row is foundation slip stitches, chains can be substituted but will create a tighter brim that might curl or need blocked when finished.
4. Hat can be worked in any number of colors. See pattern for other versions. Pattern written with the main color (A) on forward pass, and contrasting colors (B, C, or D) on return pass.
5. All hats shown are in Adult S/M.
