Men's Folded Brim Hat

Who doesn't love a good warm hat? I know I do!! I don't know about you guys but my dad and my brother do not like fancy over the top things and to them a simple design is better, and warmth is a necessity! So I made a hat like this for my dad last winter and he loved it and has been asking me for another one, so I decided that while I was making it I might as well post the pattern so that others can enjoy it to! This hat is awesome, the folded brim makes it warmer around the ears, which is really important during those cold months, but it isnt so thick that it is a pain in the bum. 

I would say this hat is a little on the larger side, and my dad personally has a bit of a smaller head, but it still works for him so it is a very versatile pattern!

The color combinations that you could do with this hat are endless and that is awesome becasue the more you can personalize something the better! 

I hope that you guys enjoy this pattern and this hat as much as my family!

Pattern

With size US 6 needles cast on 104 stitches, join in the round making sure not to twist your work and place your stich marker

In color 1 (royal blue)

Rnd 1-40: *K2,P2*

At this point you may think the hat looks a little funny, but remember this hat has a folded brim so it will only actually when worn be half the size it looks.

 In color 2 (charcoal) 

Switch to size 7 Needles for the rest

Rnd 41-56: K all stiches

Decrease Rounds 

Switch to longer circular cord or circular needles when ready. I switched on round 62, and knitted all the stiches onto the longer circular cord and finish hat using the magic loop method 

From row 57 until the end K all even rows

Rnd 57:  *k11(k2tg)* (96)
Rnd 59: *k10(k2tg)* (88)
Rnd 61: *k9(k2tg)* (80)
Rnd 63: *k8(k2tg)* (72)
Rnd 65: *k7(k2tg)* (64)

Rnd 69: *k5(k2tg)* (48)
Rnd 71: *k4(k2tg)* (40)

Rnd 77: *k1(k2tg)* (16)
Rnd 79 *(k2tg)* (8)

Cut yarn leaving a tail long enough to pull through the remaining stiches 

Pull yarn through the remaining stiches and then pull through the middle to the inside, knot it and then finish weaving in all of the ends.

Shout out to my wonderful dad for willingly modeling this hat for me!
