Notes

I spotted this hat in a Telegraph (UK) fashion feature and thought it was adorable. But $140??? I made my version for under $10, not including labor. I knit it in two nights while watching TV.

Next time I’ll make the brim a little wider, maybe 5” of ribbing instead of 4”. I have a big head!

Cute pattern and very very easy. (The bottom photo is the $140 version … mine’s on the top.)
