I'm excited for you to try this stitch! It's very relaxing and rhythmic. I find it so soothing to work up, and I hope you experience the same.

My friend Shawna really wanted me to try a double slip stitch brim, so I did! I've got two brim options for you to try on this hat. If you are feeling adventurous try out the double slip stitch, it's in the video tutorial as well.

While this stitch mimics the 1x1 knit rib, it doesn't have the properties of ribbing. It lays like a flat fabric with a great drape. But it's not as flexible as a traditional rib but has a great quality for garments and home decor.
