Pattern includes illustrated tutorials for German Short Rows and a tubular cast on. Slouch 3 is worked in the round from brim to crown using knit, purl, and k2tog/ssk decreases. The pattern instructions are written only.

About the Yarns
Shibui Pebble is a tweedy, 2-ply, light fingering weight silk/merino/cashmere blend with a soft hand and a little memory. The fibre content means it has little bounce at loose gauges. To help the brim keep its shape, the brim is knit on much smaller needles than the body. If you’re substituting for this yarn, look for a tweedy, light fingering weight yarn with at least 36% wool and some drape. If you use a yarn with a high wool content, be sure to swatch carefully, as the added bounce may mean that you need to go up a needle size or two or go up a brim size. You will need approximately 190 yds/174 m of your substitute yarn.
Shibui Birch is a sport weight extra fine merino singles yarn, with exquisite softness and a bit of a halo. If substituting for this yarn, look for a soft, sport or heavy fingering weight yarn that gives a fabric with some structure at the pattern’s gauge. You will need approximately 115 yds/105 m of your substitute yarn.
