This pattern is a freebie! It uses beginner techniques (such as ribbing and a simple decrease), but with a small twist that keeps it interesting :) I hope you enjoy this pattern, it’s a fun one to knit and to style!


This simple hat is a two-in-one, it’s reversible! Both sides are knit with the same stitch pattern, but when worked in different colors it gives you choices for your winter wardrobe. Mix and match bases to achieve different fabrics on either side of the hat:
How does a cashmere or fluffy mohair base sound for the lining?

Here is a link to the project page for the sample.
