With a hemmed brim and an offset half-Fisherman’s rib pattern for the body, Black Walnut is quite possibly the best slouch hat ever (I’m a bit biased, though). Adding a flooffy pom-pom makes it even better!

SIZE
Three sizes: A (B, C)
Circumference at brim: 16 (18, 20)“ / 41 (46, 51)cm
To fit head circumference: 17-20 (20-23, 23-25)” / 43.25-50.75 (50.75-58.5, 58.5-63.5)cm

Folded brim needs negative ease for proper fit. Body of hat is much stretchier. Choose the size that will give you ~3” / 7.5cm negative ease. Approximate ranges for sizes would be A for child size, B for teen + regular adult, and C for larger adult.
