Seacliff Seersucker Hat Knitting Pattern creates a loose-fitting textured beanie. With a twisted 1x1 rib brim, this hat design is created by this elegant knit and purl texture using just one needle size.

The beautiful Seacliff State Beach located south of my studio inspired the design of this hat. The graphic parallelogram shapes, like a royal crown, capture the rugged beauty of the cliffs that make this coastal spot special to our family.
