Burnaby Hat by Jared Flood

Description

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

First designed for Quarry as part of our Ganseys collection, this unisex cap pattern now includes directions for knitting at a finer gauge to make the most of Arbors lush palette and crisp definition. Rope cables and delicate seeded tree forms sprout from a brim of half-twisted rib, which can be worked to shorter or longer lengths to achieve your desired fit.

Construction

• The hat is worked circularly from the brim to the crown.
