A final pattern to round out the Artichoke French Collection:
* Artichoke French Mittens
* Artichoke French Hoodie
* Artichoke French (the original pullover)

Artichoke French Hat is knit from the top down in the round. When it is the desired length you begin to work in the round inside out and create a thick and comfy brim. This brim can be as tall as you want! What a great way to keep those ears warm, right? AF Hat is great with (or without) a pom-pom! Totally up to you! And there is a video if you need help with the stitch!
