The Still Morning Hat is worked in the round from the bottom up in a simple stockinette stitch. It is knit holding two strands of yarn together — a bulky base paired with a brushed alpaca — giving the fabric a soft halo that elevates the finished piece without complicating the process. The double brim is folded and seamed on the inside, creating a clean, structured edge that sits comfortably against the face. The crown decreases gradually, gathering at the top for a relaxed slouch. Available in four sizes from baby to adult, it is a timeless, wearable design that knits up quickly and wears well all season.
