This hat is a pattern adapted from my Radiance Lace Headband pattern, (Amanda style), from One Planet Yarn and Fiber.

The very creative Sonya of In the Skein of Things asked if the headband could be made into a hat pattern…and, guess what? It can!

The yarn truly makes this hat incredibly soft and warm and the kettle dyed color enhances the stitch pattern.

The model in the picture is my beautiful friend, Amanda, who the pattern is named after.
