This pattern is available to download from Ravelry . by Jared Flood A handsome pattern you can adapt for anyone, the Furrow hat gives you options for four different design details to mix and match as you please. Knit it in Shelter, Ranch 01, or Quarry; choose a beanie fit or add height for a slouchy silhouette; split the garter brim or work it in the round; add a jolly top loop — or don't. The rhythmic cable and moss-stitch motif is easy to memorize as you work up to the crown decreases. Worsted and chunky-weight versions are charted separately. Construction This pattern includes instructions for both worsted and chunky weight yarns. You may choose between a split brim and a circular brim. The hat is worked in the round from the top of the brim to the crown. An optional top loop, worked with a crochet hook, is perfect if you plan to hang your hat on a hook or peg.
