Brim it on
**Pattern Description:** This versatile and casual hat pattern is perfect for knitters of all ages, stages, and genders. Designed with a super stretchy ribbed structure, it provides exceptional flexibility and comfort, making it a staple accessory for all seasons.

The brim can be easily folded up for a snug, fitted look or down for a trendy, slouchy version, allowing you to customize your style. Whether you're looking to stay cozy in the cold or make a fashion statement, this hat is all about the brim—so bring it on!

**Recommended Yarn:** For the best results, we recommend using Fingering/4ply 100% Merino yarn, which ensures a soft touch and durability.
**Gauge:** Achieve a gauge of 48 stitches to 40 rows in 1:1 ribbing with 4ply yarn and 3mm (US 2.5) needles for a 10cm/4 inches square, although precise gauge is not essential due to the garment's stretchiness.
**Meterage:** You will need approximately 360 meters of yarn for the Adult Large size. This makes it a perfect project for using up leftover yarn from previous projects!
**Available Sizes:** This hat pattern accommodates a wide range of sizes, including Infant (35.5-40.5 cm), Toddler (40.5-46 cm), Child (45.5-51 cm), Adult Small (51.5-57 cm), and Adult Large (55-61 cm).
**Materials Needed:** For knitting in the round, gather your materials: use 3mm (US 2.5) circular needles, a tape measure for accurate sizing, a darning needle for weaving in ends, 4 stitch markers for easier pattern navigation, scissors for trimming yarn, and an extra 3mm needle for picking up stitches—a perfect toolkit for a seamless knitting experience.
This charming hat pattern is not only functional but also a fantastic project for knitters looking to enhance their skills. Start your next cozy knitting adventure with this all-age, all-gender hat that embraces style and comfort with every stitch. Download your free or paid pattern today!
