Relaxing hat is an easy knit that is worked in the round from the bottom to the top.

Pattern is quite versatile, you may opt for a folded brim or simply adjust the length of the brim based on your preferred looks and fit.

If you decide to use twisted purl stitches, it looks great from the wrong side as well.

Both written instructions and charts are provided including a link to the video for a stretchy cast-on.
