The Foothills Hat is based off the foothills of the mountains where I live. They form a triangle shape that runs up the mountains, and are the inspiration for the brim design of the hat. Made out of bulky weight yarn, this hat knits up fast.

The pattern is for a one-size-fits-all hat, but instructions are given on how to reduce or increase the size of the hat to whatever you need. The given pattern is about a S/M adult size.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
You will need to know how to knit in the round on circular needles, and how to knit and purl. Instructions are given on how to complete the cables and the jute stitch (body of the hat).
