This hat pattern includes instructions for Adult Small, and Adult Large). The small will fit any head up to 21” in diameter. The large is for those with a 22” head and larger.

Richly cabled hat features a ribbed folded brim. A tubular cast-on is suggested.

The design is inspired on a knit hat worn by Luke Bankole in the TV series “Handmaid’s Tale”. This show features so many fantastic handknits, this one being my favorite. As Luke strolled across the bridge in Canada, listening to a message from June on a cassette tape… he had this hat on.
