Growing Affection

A lightweight hat for warmer weather. This lacy beanie features a braided column of decreases and yarn overs made to look like cables, without cabling! Little bobbles decorate the brim for a bit of textural interest. Ideal for pulling on to keep the hair out of your eyes on windy beach strolls.

This piece is knit seamlessly from the bottom up. Charts and written instructions for the charts are both included.
