Simple (Fold Up) Brimmed Hat - Free Pattern (Stash Buster Project)

I made this hat to go with my Simple Super-Long Scarf.

This hat is worked using 2 strands of yarn held together.

I have a really large head, so...be aware that this hat will be BIG.  You can always alter it to fit your head by leaving out an increase row or two.

This is a close-up photo of the hat.  My model was unwilling, so it was left up to me to get a photo.  :(
