The Towpath Beanie combines meditative stitches and classic construction for a strikingly simple unisex hat. Two variations on the versatile half-double crochet create its simple knit-look rib pattern, and a double brim keeps your ears extra cozy! Use a contrasting color for the interior brim, keep it simple with one color throughout, or get creative with stripey scraps. The advanced beginner will find this pattern easy to tackle after learning a couple new stitches.
