a hexagonal freebie

FREE

This is a fun hat with a non-traditional brim. Knit from the bottom up, it has a simple open lace pattern that is easy to memorize and great for cool spring weather. This loose fitting hat won’t squish your curls. The crown decreases at five points creating a nifty little hexagon.
