Why settle for one hat when you can have four? Junction Street is a clever, reversible hat that lets you switch up your style with ease. Worked entirely in soothing stockinette from the center out, this design showcases creative stripe placement that delivers four unique color combos in a single knit.

Wear it slouchy for a relaxed vibe or fold the brim for a classic fit—then flip it inside out and do it all again for two more stylish variations! Whether you’re feeling bold and colorful or subtle and understated, Junction Street has a look for every mood.

Easy to knit and endlessly versatile, this hat is the perfect grab-and-go accessory for any season. Knit one, and you’ll want a whole collection!
