Polarity Hat: Knitting Pattern PDF

Knit from end to end with no joining, this 2-layer, 2-color hat pattern is cozy and reversible. The hat tops have 4-petal flower shaping. A lightly lacey, peak and valley type stitch pattern allows the color of the inner layer to peek through. A simple picot edging helps you transition from the first layer to the second as you knit and makes the fold at the bottom of the brim.

Directions for the shaping at the top of the hat is written in needle neutral terms and can be worked on dpns or circular needles with your favorite small circumference circular knitting method. Graded to fit the entire family with 5 sizing options.
