First you will work the middle layer (stockinette stitch, yarn A), then you will work the outer layer (stockinette stitch, yarn A & B held together). The folded brim is created by knitting the stitches together with the cast-on edge. The inner layer of the brim is worked in ribbing. The body of the hat is worked in brioche with yarn C & D held together. Decreases are worked using DPNs or Magic Loop.

KONSTRUKTION
Majorna stickas runt i ett stycke. Mudden består av tre lager. Först stickas det mellersta lagret (slätstickning, garn A), sen stickas yttersta lagret (slätstickning, garn A & B som hålls tillsammans). Maskorna stickas därefter ihop med uppläggningen, för att skapa en uppvikt mudd. Muddens innersta lager stickas i resår. Toppen av mössan stickas i patentstickning, med garn C & D som hålls tillsammans. Minskningarna stickas på strumpstickor eller med Magic Loop.
