Design & Details

This knitting pattern features an easy, quick knit that requires only 1 ball of yarn (approximately 125 yards), perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters alike. The tiny cable-like stitch design promotes airflow while maintaining privacy for your scalp, unlike traditional eyelets. This unique design makes the hat ideal for Spring and Summer wear, providing stylish sun protection without compromising on comfort. The pattern includes two sizes: small (20 inches) and medium (stretching up to 23 inches), ensuring a perfect fit for a variety of head sizes.
