This hat is designed to be slightly slouchy with the option to fold the brim for a tighter fitting beanie. I designed this hat for my husband and me to wear on our trip to Iceland. It is a fun, beginner friendly colorwork project with very short floats to help add a pop of interest to a basic, lightweight beanie. Hopefully you can wear it on your next epic trip.
