This Hat includes options for chullo style with earflaps (shown) or regular beanie version and is available in 3 sizes. Due to the nature of the pattern, this pattern is provided in charted format only, and each section and size is fully charted.

Knit sideways, using provisional cast-on and kitchener stitch for a perfect, seam-free finish, this Hat makes the most of the lace pattern with the unusual construction.
