From the book’s description: This basic hat can be knitted very quickly, and then it becomes a blank canvas for unleashing creativity. For a girly feel, embellish the hat with buttons and flowers; alternatively, add dramatic pom-poms. Let your imagination take hold - scour the bottom of your sewing basket or knitting stash, knit strips, add laisy daisies, sew on beads… Make this hat as individual as you are.
