Cast-off loosely in pattern, by either using a larger needle or one of the stretchy bind-off methods.
Finishing
With clever weaving in of ends, this Hat will be fully reversible. Alternatively, choose which side you prefer and weave in all ends on reverse.
A gentle wash and blocking is required to help the shaping lines settle in and lay flat. It is best to block this Hat as a circle with the crown at the centre.
