I was experimenting with stitch patterns and became enamored with this slip stitch grid pattern.

The slip stitch pattern is very dense, so that makes it nice and warm. It looks the same on both sides, so the hat is reversible. You will see that some photos show the teal accent color only at the bottom of the rim and some show it taking up the entire rim. It is the same hat – it is reversible.

This hat can be classic or very “now”, depending on color. Have fun!
