This three-way color hat is a great way to show your sporting spirit using team colorways. Here I am using Black, Red & Gray for the University of Georgia Bulldogs. The 3” ribbed brim folds back over the main color ribbing and provides a large enough area for a 2” high team patch if desired. The slipped stitches on the second row of a color change (Rows 20, 48, 52, 55 & 57) minimizes the distinct jog that occurs with striping colors. These slipped stitches should be done purlwise.
