CONSTRUCTION
This hat is reversible and can be worn as
a slouch hat or the brim folded to wear as
a beanie and show off both sides. The hat uses square crown shaping, the “+” shape on the A side and pinwheel shaping on the B side. Using color A, the hat is worked from the brim to the crown starting with a pro- visional cast on, then using Color B, the live stitches of Color A are picked up and from there the hat is knit using Color B from the brim through the pinwheel shaping of the crown.
Ends are woven in before beginning the crown of Color B. This hat utilizes 2 colors and 2 skeins of Fibre Gentili Sport Weight Yarn.

RECCOMENDED CARE
RECCOMENDED CARE
Handle our soft and delightful yarn with care. It's delicate nature requires gentle attention for a soft, airy fluff finish. Be mindful of its fragility when winding and knitting with it. With proper care, your final product will showcase the beauty of this yarn without any compromise in quality.
WET-BLOCKING
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
- Soak work for 30 minutes or longer allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
- Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
