Headgear V

A slouchy hat worked in a broken rib pattern that grows organically out of the half-twist rib used for the hat band. The crown shaping creates alternating "mountain" and "valley" folds that give the hat its silhouette. This pattern is sold as a PDF download only and may not be returned.
