The Vietnamese mountain town of Dalat and its lovely pine forests inspired the colorwork motif of this cute, comfy and slouchy hat.

The playful colorwork motif is worked in two contrasting colors. It will fly off your needles, even if you are a colorwork novice. Instructions on how to deal with long floats on the wrong side of the work are included.
