Kahvi
Inspired by the ElfQuest character Kahvi, chieftess of the Go-Backs, the Kahvi hat is thick and firm, with a snug fit and a commanding height The lined front band adds a surprising amount of warmth around the cheeks. The fit is achieved through continuous shaping, so pay attention to what you’re doing!
Front band is worked first, then the hat body is worked flat and joined at center back. Finally, the front band is lined and edged with an applied i-cord edging.
