Monarch Egg Hat – KNIT

A hat for the each member of your crew, no matter their size. From tiny all the way up.

This hat is fully reversible thanks to its construction.

All the hats have a folded hem brim, except the Infant size. I go over how to do this in the pattern and there’s a video link. You can always sew the brim when the stitching is done.

I chose 2 colors for the brim because of the yarn kit I was using. You can choose more or less as you’d like.

SKILLS USED IN MONARCH EGG HAT
Knitting in the round on a circular needle and then small circumference knitting for the crown
