Deke is part of the Hat Trick ebook, a collection of three simple unisex hat patterns designed to be knit at a wide range of gauges, with yarn weights from fingering to bulky.

Feint to the left, then to the right — slipped stitches skate playfully up the crown of this fun hat. Deke is a perfect stash-buster, with instructions to help you use all your yarn without coming up short. A range of gauge instructions let you customize the fit and size, making Deke ideal for men, women, and kids.
