PATTERN COMING BACK SOON

This is a modular hat in one size (c. 20” in circumference), though a smaller size (18”) can be achieved by using a size smaller needle. The body contains four triangles knitted as a strip, joined to form a circle. Brim and crown are picked up from the body. When picking up stitches around the brim, avoid picking up too few, and bind off loosely and/or use a flexible bind-off technique. The brim has to be flexible.
