Mrs. Jekyll & Little Hyde

Introducing the Mrs. Jekyll & Little Hyde reversible hat—a beautifully crafted accessory that combines style and functionality! Made from light fingering weight wool, this unique hat is designed to keep you warm with its innovative two-layer construction. The versatile beret-style hat can be styled in two ways: wear it on the feminine lace side, where the delicate design allows the cozy lining to peek through, or flip it to the sporty side, showcasing bold contrasting stripes and charming little eyelets near the brim.

One of the standout features of this reversible hat is the shared ribbing that connects both sides. The ribbing is worked in just one layer at the beginning to ensure there’s no excess bulk near your face, enhancing comfort without sacrificing style. The seamless brim is expertly attached to both the lace and stripe designs using a simple yet effective technique that I affectionately refer to as "unvented"—a nod to the legendary Elizabeth Zimmermann. To enhance your knitting experience, a detailed photo tutorial guides you through this innovative construction method that seamlessly integrates both sides of the hat with the ribbing.

Knitting Tip: For the most striking effect, choose a contrast color that stands out against your natural hair color. This will allow the lovely lace design to pop beautifully, making your Mrs. Jekyll & Little Hyde hat a true statement piece.

Whether you're looking for a cozy accessory for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast, this reversible hat pattern offers the perfect blend of creativity and practicality. Get ready to elevate your hat collection with this must-have knitting pattern!
