Tryon Creek Hat is a cozy and squishy hat with easy cables and a deep foldover brim. See the matching Tryon Creek Cowl too.

The hat is truly unisex, is offered in three sizes, and can be made in Worsted or DK yarn weights. Size and height of hat are easily adjusted (instructions are included). The size will vary depending on yarn weight and gauge.

Add a pom pom to top it off if you wish… maybe use a contrasting color for the pom pom? It would also look good with the brim done in a contrasting color and that would enable you to use up more stash yarn too… there are so many options!

Instructions are both written and charted (including the crown!). This pattern has been professionally tech-edited.
