The Kaleidoscope Mesh Hat is a slouchy summer hat with simple lace stitches separated by twisted stitches. This hat begins with patterned ribbing on smaller needles that flows into the stitch patterns of the hat body, on a larger needle. It was designed specifically to use a single skein of Berroco Liana. If you choose to substitute a different yarn, a predominantly-linen yarn will produce a similar drape. The simple lace texture really benefits from being gently blocked after you are finished! Charts and written instructions are provided, as well as suggestions and photos for blocking.
