One of my favourite cloud formations is the mackerel sky. I have tried to capture this rippling pattern in this beanie hat, so that you can walk under such a sky any time you want. This hat features a deep brim, which can be folded over to show off the tubular cast-on edge. The hat is worked flat, then seamed along the back edge to finish. Choose two strongly contrasting colours for maximum oomph from colour work design.
