Erica is a quick hat to work up. An intermediate level hat that will help you hone your skills of working in the round and in the 3rd loops. The simple front posting work of the motif will introduce you to the world of cabling. Erica is a well-rounded hat with her own spunk and uniqueness. She is great for all occasions. Wear her one way for a trendy soft look or turn the hat inside out and pull out her funky side to spice things up and make a statement!

• your crown should measure 6.5 in after rnd 7
