One side is sleek and understated, while the other features a simple lace pattern of softly rounded eyelets that let the reverse peek through — creating a play of light and colour between the two sides. Knit in Drops Sky, a luxuriously airy DK weight yarn, this hat feels weightless yet cozy, perfect for transitional seasons or layering in the cold. The double-sided construction adds warmth and structure without bulk, giving you two looks in one elegant project. Pair it with the matching cowl for a beautifully coordinated set. **MATERIALS** Recommended Yarn: Drops Sky: DK. 74% alpaca, 18% polyamide & 8% wool, 190 m / 208 yds / 50 g / 1.76 oz. Shown in colourways Hot Chocolate (MC) and Curry (CC). Yarn amounts and height are for 3 full lace repeats; working fewer or more rounds changes yarn requirements. **Needles and Notions:** 4.0 mm (US 6) circular needle 40 cm / 16 inches long (main needle), or size required to obtain gauge. 4.0 mm (US 6) double-pointed needles for the crown decreases, if not using a loop method. 3.75 mm (US 5) circular needle 40 cm / 16 inches long for the ribbing. 1 BOR marker, 7 (8, 9) pattern stitch markers, tapestry needle to sew in ends. **GAUGE** On 4.0 mm (US 6) needles, 20 sts & 32 rounds to 10 cm / 4 inches in stockinette st after blocking. **SIZE** Circumference: small-40 cm / 16 inches, medium-45 cm / 18 inches, large-50 cm / 20 inches Brim to crown (adjustable): small, medium & large:-22.5 cm / 9 inches, Choose a size 5 - 10 cm / 2 - 4 inches smaller than the circumference of your head. **CONSTRUCTION** This reversible hat is worked entirely from the right side in two layers joined at the brim. Begin with a provisional cast-on and work the lace side first: ribbing, lace section and crown decreases. Close and secure the crown. Return to the provisional cast-on, pick up the live stitches and work the plain side in the opposite direction. Work the corresponding ribbing, then the number of stockinette rounds indicated in the Plain Section of Hat. Work the plain crown decreases, then close and secure the crown. Fold the plain layer inside the lace layer and join the two crowns with a hidden stitch, creating a warm, reversible hat with the inner colour softly showing through the lace.
