Wanting a giftable unisex hat that knits up quickly and has wide appeal? This is the hat you’ve been looking for! Designed for a yarn that has some “tooth,” Turkey Tail hits the sweet spot between structure and slouch, without getting sloppy the way that slouches are inclined to do. The spiral rib is addictive and the perfect mindless knit (you won’t need a stitch marker after the brim is finished). Always a perennial favorite for its comfort and warmth, the hemmed brim also gives it the magical ability to fit a variety of head sizes. Make one for each of your peeps!

Turkey Tail is worked in the round without seams. The hemmed brim nudges it toward the intermediate category for skill level.
