    Quantity: 1 skein
    Gauge: 21sts for 4” with 5mm needles
    You will need plastic or cardboard to make the brim. I used a waxed cardboard from an
    orange juice container (with plastic wrap to keep it waterproof). Whichever material you
    choose, be sure to select a colour that will not be visible through your yarn, even if the
    brim is knit at a tighter gauge.
    Needles: 4mm straight / 4.5mm straight / 5mm circular and dpns.
    Instructions are given for 2 sizes, S/M and M/L. M/L instructions are in brackets.

    Abreviations:
    RS: right side
    WS: wrong side
    Sl: slip
    K2tog: knit 2st together

    Seam the edges of your brim, then place the rigid cap inside (your rigid cap must fit
