Hannah is the sweetest wee DK/8ply hat pattern. Knit from the brim up, it features an incredibly easy-to-work lace that accentuates both knit and purl stitches. The lace is reminiscent of twirling ribbons, lending a playful elegance that feels both nostalgic and fresh; perfect for any little girl at heart. Leave as is for a slouchier silhouette, or add a pom pom and fold up the brim for a more snug, storybook finish. Soft, charming, and endlessly wearable, Hannah is a delightful knit that brings a touch of whimsy to cooler days.
