This hat is knit from the brim to the crown in two contrasting colours, alternating between stripes and corrugated ribbing to add texture and interest. I’ve included directions for different design options so that you can easily personalize your beanie, including: 3 sizes, 2 brim styles in 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing, thin or thick horizontal stripes, and 1x1 or 2x2 corrugated ribbing vertical stripes.
