This hat can be made with any bulky (5) yarn of your choice. I personally would recommend the yarn I used because of things like fit, drape, texture, etc.
The smallest details are considered in the end result when I design handmade pieces. Think of it as a recipe. If one ingredient is changed, then the final result
can be different. Sometimes dramatically. I still encourage you to be creative.

The Nautical Hat was designed with simplicity, practicality, and quality in mind. That’s the mindset with each of my handmade knit and crochet pieces. With premium material in mind, this cozy hat is made with Peruvian Highland Wool of the Andes Bulky yarn from KnitPicks. The simplest of details in this design accumulate to a pretty unique level of sophistication that creates a fun illusion. The curled brim you see is not the commonly folded brim. It’s not folded at all. Actually, it’s just the nature of how two simple knit stitches meet and greet. Now introduce yourself to this pattern and make some for everyone as it is a unisex design.
