Choose your own adventure: This hat can be worked top-down or bottom-up, with either straight ribbing at the bottom for a classic fit, or short rows to shape the ribbing with an updated tilt! Bottom-up hat knitting is familiar and comfortable for many knitters, but working top-down gives the ability to easily adjust the final length.
