9143 the Flap Cap | Pattern

【 Description 】

The Flap Cap is a double layered earflap hat that brings together a cool, modern street style with an effortless fit. Built with a 3 panel crown and a double thick base, its structured shape flatters any head and keeps you super cozy. While the sample features classic two tone stripes, this pattern is yours to play with—feel free to experiment with different colors and yarn textures! By sliding a rigid brim board into the visor, the peak stays crisp and permanent, making it a stylish everyday hat anyone can pull off!
