Patterned from real vintage 1940s hats, I designed this hat for a make-your-own Swing Time Tilt Hat in perfect Victory Era style. Only taking a few hours to make, you can whip it up to match an outfit or costume. Chic WWII period correct style, it is crocheted in the round with an added tilt edge in the back to fit the head and use as a base for a hat pin for the perfect tilt; also a curlicue embellishment. Enjoy the benefits of a modern-written pattern with the period correct look of a real vintage pattern!

Uses 2 strands of cotton/acrylic DK weight yarn. Moldable and crushable, but holds its shape if blocked.
