If you are familiar with the basics of knitting, then jump in and try this lace pattern. It’s a great way to practice the basics and have a pretty finished product! I made this hat with a friend going through chemo in mind…the lace makes small open spaces and allows the head to breath and not sweat--and the light weight yarn makes it easy to wear as well! So, you can make one for you, a friend and then donate one--this pattern is a must have!
