Description
This hat has some sweet but simple details: a picot brim, eyelets and a lacey crown. Choose from a slouchy style or a beanie!
The picot brim is made with a provisional cast on which is then folded up and knit together. There is also an option for a “no-sew” picot brim that uses a regular cast on, or if you prefer, you can make a traditional rolled or ribbed brim.
This hat is knit from the bottom to the crown with a worsted weight yarn. This hat has one size (with instructions to adjust) and a slightly visible seam.
