This pattern allows you to easily adjust the hat's circumference in 2-inch increments by adding or removing pattern repeats, making it a customizable choice for various head sizes. The circumference measurements provided are based on the unstretched version of the hat; however, it’s designed to comfortably stretch a few inches when worn, ensuring a perfect fit.

Choose between two stunning styles: the Beanie in rich brown and grey, which features an 18.5” circumference and measures 8.5” deep, or the Slouchy Hat in bold red and black, boasting the same circumference but with a deeper design at 10.5”. Whether you prefer a fitted look or a relaxed, slouchy style, the Frond Hat offers both options to suit your personal taste.
