November is the perfect month to start thinking about knitted gifts. This hat is a fast and fun knit - the most difficult thing was it to decide for two colors from my stash! If you have two full skeins of DK weight yarn, you could exactly knit two hats in opposite colors.

The hat has a ribbed brim, is very stretchy, slouchy and well-fitting at the same time. It’s important to note that there are no brioche purl stitches nor brioche decreases to be knit. You can do it, knitters!

The hat can be knit in multiple sizes S - toddler (M - child, L - adult) ; Block the finished cap over a steep-sided bowl or other head-shaped form to smooth the crown.
