Modeled by my friend Cindy. This hat has sooo much interest and sits pretty on your head. I got the gauge I wanted using the US2.5 on the brim, but went up to a US6 for the body to open up the lace a bit. I did 14 repeats before the decrease section.
Great pattern!

I blocked the hat, but it was good right off the needles. The color is true to the hat on model. Don’t know how the other picture turned out so red…
