This is a digital download of the Rexton hat pattern, NOT a finished product.
Rexton is named after the small town Port Rexton located in Newfoundland, Canada. Port Rexton is a classic port town but with a twist, featuring a unique brewery and vegetarian cafe. Rexton is a twist on a classic ribbed beanie, using the twisted rib stitch and decreases to create dramatic lines in the hat. Rexton is knit with bulky weight yarn, making it a great piece for the off-season as well as those colder temperatures.
