Pacific Crest Trail Hat

$8.00

Pacific Crest Trail Hat is a cozy and squishy hat with easy cables and a deep foldover brim with an optional fold line that keeps the brim in place and looking neat and tidy.

This hat is truly unisex, is offered in three sizes, and can be made in sport to worsted yarn weights. Size and height of hat are easily adjusted (instructions are included). The size will vary depending on yarn weight and gauge.

Add a pom pom to top it off if you wish… maybe use a contrasting color for the pom pom or one of those awesome furry ones? You could also double-strand the brim so that it’s extra thick and warm.

This hat is part of the Pacific Crest Trail Collection. Be sure to check out the other designs in the collection too!

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
