located on the delta of the Abu-gawa River and the Sea of Japan in the Yamaguchi Province.
(Pronounced: “har-GHEE”.)

A unisex interpretation of a fisherman’s style hat; knitted inside out with ribbed band, folded trim and reverse stocking stitch texture.
Two variations of the design are included in the pattern;
a more fitted beanie style (Model A),
and another more slouched version (Model B).
