This pattern was the Pattern B for the Woolly Wormhead Mystery KAL, held during November 2009. The KAL was held in the Wormhead’s Hats group

This Hat is ideal for beginners wishing to try their first lace beret - the feather and fan worked in the round makes for a great first project. Notes for adding extra slouch are included. Pattern is provided in both written and charted format.

The crown decreases are incorporated into the F&F stitch pattern, creating a delicate and smooth finish without bunching or gathering.
