Knit in the round from the bottom up, this linen stitch hat hows off the colors of Misti Alpaca Chunky in a really unique way. The special decreases at the top of the hat help to keep the pattern stitch continuity.

If you want a slightly larger hat knit the body of the hat another inch or so longer. The linen stitch is a tight stitch so tight knitters might need to go to a larger needle in order for the hat to fit.
