The Yesteryear Hat is featured on the Clover-USA blog as a free pattern.

This pattern is reversible! You can roll the brim on one side and fold it on the other! You can style it any way you want. Be it with a rolled brim, folded brim, or slouchy hat, the choice is yours! A three-in-one hat style is amazing, isn’t it?

NOTES

1. Read the pattern carefully before starting.
2. This pattern is worked from the bottom up, in continuous rounds (spiral).
3. I recommend using a stitch marker to mark the 1st stitch of each round. Remember to move stitch markers as you progress.
4. The asterisk * indicates pattern repeats. You will need to repeat all the instructions from the asterisks.
5. This pattern can be easily modified to your preferred size. I suggest that when modifying the size of your beanie, increase or decrease your foundation sts by 4. This is just so your decreases (crown of the beanie) will have even numbers of sts. If you want your beanie to be more fitted or slouchier, add/subtract a few rounds to the body of the beanie before continuing with the decreases or shaping of the crown.
