Friend or Foe Hat

Introducing the perfect accessory for expressing your mood without uttering a word: the "Friend or Foe" hat! This unique, reversible knitted hat features striking stripes that draw inspiration from the vibrant colors and patterns of the king snake and coral snake. Whether you're feeling friendly or fierce, this hat will let everyone know!

This hat is skillfully knitted in one continuous piece, ensuring comfort and style. Begin with your choice of a provisional cast-on method to create the first side of the hat. Once you’ve completed the initial section, simply remove the yarn from the provisional cast-on and continue crafting the delightful design on the reverse side. For a polished finish, be sure to weave in the ends meticulously as you progress through the beautiful pattern.

The "Friend or Foe" hat is designed to fit comfortably on heads measuring between 16 to 22 inches in circumference (40.5 to 45.6 cm). Upon completion, the hat will measure approximately 16 inches (40.5 cm) for extra small, 18 inches (45.5 cm) for small, 20 inches (50.5 cm) for medium, and 22 inches (56 cm) for large heads, making it a versatile accessory for knitters of all sizes.
