The Wild Sea Hat is a plush Half Fisherman’s rib beanie with a double-folded Stockinette stitch brim that gives you extra warmth around the ears.

In the pattern you will find instructions for two different yarn weights: the Breeze Edition is knitted with DK-weight yarn and the Gale Edition is knitted with super chunky yarn. Both versions are designed to end a few centimetres over the highest point of the head for a modern, laid-back look. Details on sizing and materials are listed below!

Construction. To begin with, the brim of the hat is knitted in Stockinette stitch. Then the work is turned with a German short-row stitch to allow for a double-folded brim and the Half Fisherman’s rib section begins. Lastly the crown decreases are worked with a set amount of stitches in between each right- and left-leaning decrease. To finish the hat off, the brim is loosely stitched onto the inside of the hat and folded double. Both versions are knitted in the round.

Sizing. Both editions of the Wild Sea Hat are available in 6 sizes: 6 months, 12 months (Child & Teen, Adult) Large Adult, XL Adult - all graded in 5cm 2 inch increments. It is designed with 10-12% of negative ease for a snug fit.
