Hooray, my first pattern!

This hat is great for cold weather because it’s made with two strands of worsted-weight yarn. It fits easily and snuggly over the forehead and has lots of slouch, making it quite stylish on top of being warm.

The finished hat in the photos measures, unstretched, about 11 1/2 inches at the widest. From the bottom of the folded brim to the top it measures about 10 1/2 inches.

This yarn is machine washable (cold).

ABOUT THE CHOSEN CAST-ON METHOD:

I was asked why I chose to use the button-hole cast-on method, and the reason is elasticity. I like the feeling of it more than a regular cast-on. If you feel more comfortable using a different cast-on method, go for it!
