Bedrock
This hat uses short row shaping to create a wider section so that the brim can be folded up, giving your noggin extra warmth and an asymmetrical accent. The brim can also be worn unfolded and pushed back for a slouchy effect. A loose bobble stitch gives density and textural interest to the main body of the hat.
Finished Measurements

Hat is designed to fit an average 21″ / 53cm to 24″ / 61cm circumference head. Hat is shown on a 22.5″ / 57cm head. Different sizes can easily be achieved by altering needle size and/or yarn weight.
