This hat is knit from the bottom-up in fisherman’s rib which produces a squishy and dense fabric. The beanie features a twice-folded brim but can be modified to a single fold to reduce bulk. The length of the hat with the brim folded is 5.2 (6, 6) ” / 13 (15, 15) cm. A double folded brim gives the beanie a trendy look, while increasing the warmth. By using a unique decrease method the stitch pattern is preserved through the crown of the hat.
