Our patterns have been worked many times by our in
shop clients. Your comments are always welcome.
A fun hat that can be sporty or dressy, depending
on whether you sew on seed beads and what eyelash yarn you use on the crown, if any. We used Lang's Pearl along with a coordinating
eyelash. We sewed the seed beads on after the hat was finished. There are so many different eyelashes, from many different
distributors, too many to list. If you would like us to suggest a eyelash we will be happy to send you a sample to match the
color of the yarn you choose.
The lower band with band facing is knit first, Then
the stitches are picked up on a circular needle to work the crown.

TO DETERMINE SIZE
Take a measuring tape and place
it around the circumference of the head, slightly above the ears, with the tape held fairly closely to the head. Measure your
head and then compare the measurement with the table below to find your size .
Finished hats are approximately
1" to 1.5" smaller than head circumference to allow for the stretch in knits.
