This is a pattern for a slightly slouchy adult sized hat with a rolled brim and a simple fair isle motif along the bottom of the hat. The motif matches Colleen Powley’s “Sporty Mitts”, which she designed for Blue Sky Fibers. The pattern for these mitts is also available on Ravelry as a free download. Make both to have a matching set!
