PANDA HAT

Knit Simple Holiday 2014 #28

Design by Vickie Howell

Half-double crochet patterning and double-stranded yarn make quick work of this snug beanie. Working stitches in the front or back post creates the ribbed effect on the brim. The details are crocheted separately. Because the hat is worked from the top down, you can easily customize size by adding or subtracting increase rounds.
