Like the moods of the corrections officers in everyone’s favorite prison dramedy, this hat is completely reversible. On the black side, only a small sliver of color will show when worn. On the contrast side, loyalty to the orange point of view is more obvious.

The ribbing pattern matches up perfectly on both sides, with the knit rib predominant on the main color side, and a purl rib on the contrast side. The double layer provides a pocket of warmth for your ears.

Don’t let the little complications, like a grafted edge, put you off. As with all deceptively simple results, the effort it takes to achieve is worth it.

Prison problems aside, this hat is well suited for school or team colors.
