I made this hat for my husband, but liked it so much I made another for me! It fits any adult size head because the pattern is stretchy without loosing shape, and you can just bend up more or less of the rim.

Materials
• Louisa Harding Akiko, color 015 (boyfriend) or 014 (berry) -- 2x50g balls
• 4.5 mm (US 7) and 5 mm (US 8) circular needles (24” = 60 cm circumference)
• Cable needle
• Stitch marker

Special techniques:
• RC= right twist (insert needle to knit 2 together but leave stitches on left needle, knit the first one again and slip off on to the right needle)
• C6B=slip 3 stitches on a cable needle and hold to the back, knit 3, then knit the 3 stitches on the cable needle
• Circular tubular 2/2 ribbing cast on (recommended).
