Wild Sea Hat
The Wild Sea Hat is a plush Half Fisherman’s rib beanie with a double-folded Stockinette stitch brim that gives you extra warmth around the ears.
The pattern has instructions for two different yarn weights: the Breeze Edition is knitted with DK-weight yarn and the Gale Edition is knitted with super chunky yarn. Both versions are designed to end a few centimetres over the highest point of the head for a modern, laid-back look.
Note: I’m in the process of updating this pattern layout. You will receive the new version upon release if you purchase now.
