Designed for 2 yarn weights, worsted and sport, Fogrande is a Hat worked sideways featuring a statement short-row colorwork leaf-like motif. Once the desired size is reached, stitches are picked up and the brim worked down to finish. The gentle slouch style makes for a comfortable Hat that anyone can wear.

PATTERN NOTES
1. Row gauge determines how well the Hat fits. You can adjust the number of panels to achieve a desired size, or you can adjust your gauge. When picking up for the brim, adjust the number of stitches you pick up by a multiple of 14 to match any changes to the number of panels. Adjusting the depth and slouch of the Hat is managed by adding or removing repeats shown at the adjustment point on the chart.
2. This pattern is provided for two yarn weights—worsted and sport.
