“This classic 2x2 ribbed beanie features a dramatic crown design that elevates it from the ordinary to the special. The hat is shaped using unique, directional quadruple decreases to shape the ribbing in a sinuous, organic way. These ribbed decreases look beautiful on both RS and WS, making the hat completely reversible.

The hat can be worn unfolded for a slouchy look or with a folded double brim for a watchcap style. Knit in DK-weight yarn, the pattern includes sizing for both adults and children, so you can make one for any member of the family.“ — designer, Jared Flood
