KNIT HAT PATTERN WITH BRAIDED TRIM WHICH IS OPTIONAL
See the photos to see the hat without the braid and with the braid.
Very easy pattern to make, as my goal in designing patterns
is to construct garments using the least amount of instructions without losing the cuteness factor!

This hat can be completed in less than 2 hours.
Although it looks complicated to make, I have simplified it to the utmost limit, and included photos of the steps so nothing is
left to the imagination! It is a very simple pattern to put together!
