Edgewise Hat, named after its sideways construction is a crochet take on a classic ribbed beanie. Using simple slip and half double crochet stitches worked into back loops creates a stretchy, lofty rib. The crown shaped with short rows creates a clean, sleek shape. Can be worn slightly slouchy, or brimmed. Nokta’s speckled or Core's solid colours highlight the linear texture.
