Inspiration:
I love my use of the Norwegian thimble. I hope you can try out and love it just as much. Please see the tutorials, hopefully they will make sense of what you are doing and help you learn a new technique.
Bonus to this stich pattern is that the “left” side looks amazing as well.
I think it’s fair to say you get 2 hats in one, because there is no wrong side. Enjoy!
