Paris! So chic! So exotic! … and yet so much like our own lives, as Guy de Maupassant reminds us. A bit of lace lets your hair peek through (pick a contrasting coloured yarn for maximum effect) and keeps the head warm but not too warm--ideal for temperate days. Pattern includes instructions for both a slouch and snug version of the hat.
