Sirens/mermaids are not always a good omen. These creatures are sometimes associated with natural disasters, shipwrecks, and drownings. These sirens beckon to the top of your head/the sea and bring anchors to the bottom of the ocean.

I was inspired to chart this hat out after I visited Galveston, Texas and read up on the hurricane of 1900.

The hats brim is a lavian braid. From there the pattern is worked in the round with a chart.
