A new approach, using a Half Fisherman Rib (brioche look) turn back brim,
A lace panel that’s a fairly simple repeat and was a big hit in sweater collections we made in the 90’s ( you will want to use this panel in your own designs and scarves!)
A hat crown decrease that looks cabled, yet is not…

As this hat is made from three shades it will be great for stash busting. I’d suggest doing the first one fairly close to the aran guage.

Designed first for my Milwaukee Summer School Class of 2024.
I travelled from Donegal to Milwaukee in August.
Thanks to Milwaukee knitters and friends Candy Kennedy and Julie Steinhafel for fact checking the pattern. To the class of MKE 24 for suggestions and enthusiasm and to Donegal knitting friends of over 30 years, Sally McMenamin for test knitting again the pattern again recently.
