The Matrix Hat got its name for the falling knit stitches which remind me of the falling code in the Matrix movies. Quick, easy, and unisex, this hat is great for gifts! The ribbed brim is made to be folded up, to add extra warmth around the ears. This hat is knit from the bottom up. It can be made longer by repeating the ribbing round more times, but keep in mind that a longer hat will take more yarn.
