For Dea, who lost her favorite hat and didn’t realize that having a knitter friend and photos of said chapeau meant that she could have it back again.

A somewhat slouchy but very cozy unisex beanie that can be worn with or without a folded brim.

Because the pattern repeats are in blocks of 20, it’s easier to size this hat up or down on smaller needles—although you can certainly CO 80 or 120 stitches and simply repeat the stitches on each round four or six times instead of five, if you prefer. Feel free to add or subtract rows on the ribbing for additional folding opportunities or a shorter brim.
