DETAILS
FARADAY is worked from the brim to the crown, beginning with 2 x 2 ribbing, knit to 4.5” / 11.5 cm, folded up in half inwards, and seamed in the next round of knitting, before continuing to the main fabric. Using one colour at a time, the main fabric is worked in a four-row slip stitch sequence alternating between MC and CC.

The double brim will keep you extra warm through the winter months, and the body of the hat is worked with a little extra length -- ideal for a comfy slouchy fit.
