A wardrobe staple whether you’re exploring the great outdoors or the streets of your hometown, this versatile unisex hat can be styled with the brim turned up, or left down and slouchy. The wide rib offers excellent stretch and fit, and the crown is shaped thoughtfully to maintain the crisp ribbing. You’ll find tips in the pattern to adjust the length, and you can choose your favourite fibre: plant-based for breezy summer evenings, or wool for an accessory you’ll wear all winter long.
