Copper Rain Hat

The Copper Rain Hat is both fun to make a chic to wear. Diminishing purl blocks are interspaced between knitted sections, making this fast and fun to knit up. Wear it with the purl-blocks up or turn it inside out to make the knit blocks pop! It's a great accessory to add to your Copper Rain cardigan or on its own.

Size
One Size Fits All… no kidding. This hat has got a lot of give. My two-year-old steals it, and it look adorably slouchy on her curly head. It’s designed for a beanie fit, but if you’d like to give it more slouch, add two to four more knit rows per knit section for an additional 1.5-3”.
