Kingston Hat

Alternating small and large braid panels meet Aran and lace-inspired motifs in this watchman style hat. This pattern is offered in two versions — one with a folded brim, and one without — satisfying both those who want a quick one skein project, or a substantial ear-covering cap. Unisex sized to fit most average adult heads.
