Leeni Hoimela - Sky High Hat Pattern Finnish

Trendy hat for beginners – no twisted stitches

Level * (1 of 5)

How to work the knitwear: The Sky High Hat is a trendy urban beanie you can wear even before the cold sets in. The hat is long because it features a thick, triple-folded brim. The beautifully finished decreases shape the crown in a modern way.

Here’s the twist: the hat is turned inside out at the end.

To keep the hat snug even later, work it tightly. This also ensures the basic ribbing looks its best.
