The Harkstead Hat is part of the Easy Everyday Wearables ebook, a collection of garments and accessories that use simple shaping, basic stitches and easy techniques with tutorials to assist you to create beautiful wardrobe staples.

Crochet stitches have a distinctly different look between the right side
and the wrong side. When you work in rows these combine to make a
fabric that is reversible but when you work in the round without turning
you get a very different effect. I was playing around with the stiches and the wrong side looked so good that the inside out hat was born.
This unisex hat has two shaping options, beret or beanie and is worked in the round with wrongside or the inside of the hat always facing. To give the fabric of the body of the hat a lovely drape, the half trebles are worked in the spaces between the stitches instead of into the top of the stitch.
