The Sentido hat is knit in the round in 1x1 rib, to be worn with a folded brim. There is a colorwork section worked in mosaic knitting.
I suggest knitting the inside of the folded brim in the contrasting color in order to spare a few meters of the main color. This section will not be visible while wearing the hat.
Test knit
Deadline for finishing the hat is February 15th (flexible). If you’re interested in participating, send me an e-mail.
Sizes
The pattern is written for 3 sizes child[adult M, adult L].

My samples are sizes adult M.
The size “child” is recommended for children; the size “adult M” is recommended for teenagers and adults with a head circumference smaller than 57cm/22½''; the size “adult L” is indicated for head circumferences larger than 57cm/22½''.
