Fresh Corduroy Hat

Designed by Aimee Alexander

Corduroy. When ski resorts groom trails overnight, the snowcats leave behind a pattern of small ridges in the snow that are reminiscent of corduroy fabric. Fresh corduroy is generally smooth and predictable, so it is a favorite of skiers who like to ski fast or “rip corduroy.”

Fresh Corduroy is a unisex hat knit in the round from the brim up. It features a knit in hem for warmth and to help retain shape over time. It’s simple striping motif is easy and relaxing making it an enjoyable knit. The pattern is written in three sizes and includes instructions for both a beanie and slouchy version. The tailored three-spine crown give this otherwise casual hat a polished appearance. All measurements are conveniently written in US and metric.
