Inspired by the delicate look of swiss cheese, I designed the Emmenthal hat. This design is the perfect pairing of lightweight luxurious yarns and a simple lace. I know what you’re thinking, holes in a hat? Well here in sunny California, this lightweight and lacey hat is just the right amount of warmth.
