The delicate edelweiss blossom covers the mountainsides of the Alps and now you can duplicate that delicate floral texture with my Edelweiss Hat. This fitted beanie is stretchy and features a ribbed brim, textured body and decreased crown. This breathable, comfy hat is sure to be loved by everyone in your family. Or make a few to donate to your community as chemo hats. Sizes include Toddler to Adult.

The decreased crown shapes the top of the hat for a better fit. I’ve included specific instructions for shaping the top with the KB Flexee Loom, other adjustable looms and non-adjustable (fixed size) looms. While this pattern is written for a specific gauge the shaping technique may be used with any loom gauge or hat pattern that uses a multiple of 6 or 8 stitches.
