Midnight Frost is the perfect hat for the intrepid beginner or for a fast, relaxing project for the seasoned knitter. Work it in a single color, marled, or striped--whatever suits your personal style! The double brim will keep your ears nice and toasty, while 1x1 ribbing on the inside keeps it snug to any adult head--large or small. After 2.5” of ribbing, you get a fast and easy stockinette all the way up up to the crown, which uses mirrored decreases to form an X. A quick knit suitable for all skill levels, Midnight Frost is an excellent project to work on while surrounded by family and friends or for a relaxing night of Knitflix and chill.
