• Product description

  A branching motif of half-twisted rib creates a striking hat that can be worn with either side out. Twisting the knit stitches throws them into sharp relief; on the verso their untwisted purl neighbors splay and lie flatter for a related but distinct look. Hirombe finishes with an elfin peak as the rib naturally draws in at the crown. The elasticity of the stitch pattern makes this hat stretchy enough to fit anyone.

  Designer: Jared Flood
