poetto cap
A newsboy cap that feels like it was discovered at a vintage market in Europe — Poetto Cap ️
I’ve always loved this style of hat, but I could never find the perfect one — so I made it myself!
Throw it on with a simple shirt and it instantly creates a mood ꒰◍ˊ◡ˋ◍꒱
✨ No wire or brim insert needed!
This hat is made entirely with yarn.
The soft, flexible brim blends beautifully with the body of the hat, creating a natural and charming silhouette.
Whether you wear it lightly perched on your head or pulled down snugly, it gives a flattering fit that makes your face look smaller
