Zilvia is a gently slouchy fingering-weight lace hat designed for three-season wear. Worked in the round from brim to crown, this lightweight, one-skein hat features an all-over lace pattern with integrated crown shaping.

Inspired by the temporary loss of a favorite everyday handknit, Zilvia was designed to be practical, wearable, and engaging to knit.

Lightweight and versatile, this is a lace beanie you’ll reach for again and again.
