This is the latest hat by Schnapps. As he was working on it, we noticed that it could be reversible. Then we thought that it would look cute with the brim rolled also. So, this extremely simple 2 row pattern that only uses knit and purl stitches makes one hat that can be worn four different ways!

The pattern is worked over 4 stitches.
To knit this using 5-weight yarn, use size 10.5 needles and cast on 68 stitches.
To knit this using worsted weight yarn, use size 8 needles and cast on 92 stitches.
To make it child size, use worsted yarn, size 8 needles and cast on 64 stitches. Adjust in increments of 4 stitches for individual sizes.
