Bark Elephant hat from Knit By TrineP
An elephant hat is almost indispensable in street clothes. This elephant hat has indentations that provide an improved fit, and it can be knitted in a thin or a thick version, with a pattern or simply in stockinette.
The hat is knitted from top to bottom, back and forth. A main piece is knitted first, after which stitches are picked up on each side of this, and you continue downwards. The hat is gathered under the chin, after which it is continued in rib.
