Pylos Knit Hat is double layered with a twisted top. It features a ribbed double brim, followed by a classic stockinette stitch body that is also double layered and finished off by making a twist.
Make it two hats in one by adding another color, pattern or stripes for the other side of the hat!
The twisted top self-closes when the hat is worn as a regular hat. Wear it as a messy bun hat, or take your pony tail out for a walk!
Wear it your way!
In this pattern you will get patterns for 2 versions of the same design -
1) the regular hat (shown in first pictures - dark grey) with a little bit of positive ease,
2) and the fuzzy version (light grey made in fuzzy yarn - last two pictures) designed to be worn with a bit of negative ease.
Plus - two colorwork charts are added if you choose to add some fun for your double sided hat.
