Perfect for the scrambling and climbing it takes to get to the good views, this bonnet will stay put even on the windiest of days. Whether you prefer your ancient buildings surrounded by pigeons and worldclass coffee or being slowly reclaimed by the natural world, explore them from under this cute hat. A fun shape is enlivened by a sweet border of mosaic stitches that add lovely contrast with little fuss as you only ever need to use one color per row!
