This hat looks good on men, women, boys and girls. Fun to knit and great to gift, the hat is constructed from the top down. It starts with an I-cord and the stitches are increased until the crown is the right size. Then knit simple Stockinette Stitch for six inches, 2 X 2 ribbing for eight rounds followed by another five rounds of all knitting to create the little rolled brim. If you are unfamiliar with any of the techniques used in this pattern, I recommend You Tube video tutorials. They are a wonderful and free way to learn.
