I designed this hat for my brother, who every year critiqued the previous years’ hats in the hopes that one day I would create the ideal hat for him. This was the result, and he had no more critiques to offer. He wanted something simple and classic, and most importantly kept his ears warm. That’s why this hat has a wide, folded brim, which means it’s doubly warm and cozy, and a simple brocade pattern above the brim.
This hat can be knit in 2 sizes and uses worsted weight yarn. I recommend a solid, semi-solid or heathered yarn for this pattern. The original hat was made with Handspun, so that’s definitely an option as well. Please note that because of the wide, folded brim you will use close to a full skein of yarn for the larger size.
