Viola Hat Pattern by Noriko Ho (Printed Copy)

Sizes
17” (20.5”, 22.5”) (43cm (52cm, 57cm)) head circumference.
Final Dimensions
10” (10.25”, 10.5”) (25.5cm (26cm, 26.5cm)) tall, 15.5” (18”, 20.5”) (39.5cm (45.5cm, 52cm)) circumference.

Note about sizing: Please keep the Final Dimensions in mind. Negative ease is already included in the sizing. This makes it more ideal for wearing it with the brim folded up and beanie style, but wearer can still style it slouchy by pulling down on the back of the hat. If the wearer prefers a more slouchy style hat, it is suggested that the next size up should be made. :o)

The gauge swatch is knit flat in stockinette st, and left unblocked to make the gauge easier to read.
