This pattern is available on Ravelry . "The gentle banded textures of Grist bring a modern take to traditional gansey textures from classic fisherman sweaters. The gentle knit-purl patterns adorning the hat body are both soft and defined in Imbue Sport, a three ply merino wool with a balance of definition and loft. The hat is worked with a squishy doubled brim that is worked to twice the target length, then folded over and sandwiched together, creating a polished, professional finish with added cushioning and warmth around the ears. The simple texture patterns — pairing simple knit and purl stitches in various combinations — are easy to remember and soothing to work." — designer, Jared Flood Construction The hat is worked circularly from the bottom up, beginning with a doubled brim worked in 1x1 ribbing. Stitches for the hat are cast on provisionally and 1x1 ribbing is worked to twice the finished length of the brim. The brim is then folded in half and joined, with one round of live stitches being worked together with the provisionally cast-on stitches. The body of the hat is then worked in the Grist stitch pattern, which may be worked from either charted or written instructions. After completion of the hat body, crown shaping is worked in concentric rings to close the top of the hat.
