Rustic Finish Hat

I wanted a hat to showcase the yarn in an elegant fashion, and had an eye for the feature of the crown decreases. This pattern has a folded-under brim for extra warmth on the ears and a stockinette stitch fabric to showcase a beautiful tweed or slub yarn. The hat works just as well with a DK weight yarn held single or a fingering + mohair held together. Either way, you will have a simple, understated hat with a lovely, refined finish.
