The docker hat was originally worn by dock workers and sailors who needed a simple, warm hat that stayed in place. With no brim, it’s practical and comfortable, ideal for windy conditions. This pattern keeps the classic shape and is easy to sew, working well with fabrics like canvas, cotton twill, denim, or wool. It’s a quick project that makes for a practical, everyday hat.
