This is quite a dense and warm hat, because of the slip stitch pattern - but light enough when worn, since it's worked in fingering weight wool.
The ribbing of the brim is taller near the face but much narrower at the back of the neck (to keep the ribbing from folding in the nape). The pattern is worked with a bigger needle size than the brim, since the slip stitch pattern pulls in a lot. This pattern works best with wool or with any other grippy yarn.
The hat starts with a tubular cast on for a very neat looking edge that has also extreme stretch (it allows the brim to stretch up to almost 35% more of it’s initial size).
In the pictures the sample is a size M; shown on a 55,5cm/ 22 inches head.
