The Mountain Bracken hat is a slightly loose fitted lace knit with and extra long brim section allowing for the edge to be turned up. Starting at the ribbing you will work a simple 1x1 twisted rib, then work the pattern and ending with the crown shaping. The pattern is written in chart only and worked in the round. This hat was intended to be worked with heavy DK / light worsted weight yarn, making it a quick and fun knit.
