A modern take on the classic Italian Goobalini hat- this cute, slouchy cap pattern comes in five sizes (XS/S/M/L/XL), with a wide, tweed textured brim to frame the face. Worked completely in the round, the knit/purl brim offers a snug fit below to keep the cap in place, but gives way to softly slumping volume above. This is an easy, fast and fun knit for experienced knitters and a great project to help beginning knitters advance their skills.
