Grist Hat

CONSTRUCTION

• The hat is worked circularly from the bottom up, beginning with a doubled brim worked in 1x1 ribbing. Stitches for the hat are cast on provisionally and 1x1 ribbing is worked to twice the finished length of the brim. The brim is then folded in half and joined, with one round of live stitches being worked together with the provisionally cast-on stitches.
• The body of the hat is then worked in the Grist stitch pattern, which may be worked from either charted or written instructions.
• After completion of the hat body, crown shaping is worked in concentric rings to close the top of the hat.
