This wonderfully structured design is knit in a buttery soft yarn, resulting in a striking and very wearable Hat. The ridges are created using a combination of knitted tucks and folding hems, and all the techniques needed are included in the pattern.

6 sizes are included to ensure the perfect fit. The Hat is worked in the round and bottom up.
