A classic knitted flat cap for the modern gentleperson, the traditional shape looks great on anyone and brings a touch of vintage fun while being a completely practical and wearable hat. The perfect project for the hard-to-knit-for partner, it looks great in a traditional tweed yarn!

The Offshore Flatcap begins working in the round for the internal band before switching to flat knitting for the top. Short rows shape the back and brim. A template is included to fashion an insert for brim. Instructions are included for cabled or plain top.

This pattern includes both written instructions and charts.
