Fixation is the perfect yarn for a sunhat - the blend of cotton and elastic make for a brim that doesn’t flop! This design features slip stitched stars and stripes. After designing my “Stars & Stripes” slip stitch dishcloth, I knew I wanted to feature the same concept in a hat! I began with a provisional cast on just below top decreases and work down, ending with the brim. You then pick up the provisional stitches and work the top decreases.
