The Bethany Hat is a smart-looking hat with a rolled brim reminiscent of the menswear bowler hat from the mid-1800’s. The bowler hat is now worn by men and women alike. The Bethany Hat features a rolled brim, textured stitches and a complementing stockinette stitch. The textured stitches add the stability and stiffness required of a bowler. This hat style is perfect for both casual and dressy attire. The Bethany Hat is a quick and easy knit and a great gift idea for those who prefer a more fitted hat. Three sizes are included.
