Finished Size: 16" head circumference and 7 (8)" tall. To fit a woman (man). Hat shown in woman’s size.
“I have always been drawn to the architectural aspects of knitting and will often look to building architecture as a source of inspiration when designing. This hat was inspired by the architecture of Rem Koolhaas, whose work I am fortunate enough to experience whenever I visit the Seattle Public Library,” says Jared Flood. A round, springy yak fiber yarn emphasizes the strong geometric structure and deeply sculptural quality of the twisted stitch pattern covering the Koolhaas Hat.
