This hat is knit from the bottom up, brim to crown. For the intrepid novice to the advanced knitter, this hat repeats a motif of 20’s flair, incorporates a panel of jazzed up stockinette, and is finished with a gather at the back crown. Its scalloped brim and motif based in rib stitches contribute to the comfort and ease of wear for a range of head sizes. So cue up some Louis Armstrong and dive into the colorful 1920’s with the Phryne Hat.
