The Fragile Snowflakes Hat is knit in the round from the bottom up with two strands of yarn held together: DK-weight merino wool and lace-weight mohair.

The design features a combination of small braided cables and beaded rib on a reverse stockinette background.

The crown decreases are done gradually, and the top of the hat is designed to stand up from the head a bit.

The folded brim is knit in 1×1 rib.
