A real classic, Everglade is as beautiful as the area it was named for. I designed this Hat with versatility in mind: fold back the brim for extra warmth and a fitted look or leave the brim long for a slouchy Hat.

Everglade is worked in the round with a deep ribbed brim and a swirling pattern of interlocking leaves. Instructions are both charted and written out.

Everglade ist eine bildschöne Ajourmütze, die sich vielseitig tragen lässt – salopp und locker fallend mit lang gelassenem Bündchen, oder extra warm mit umgeschlagenem Rand. Das Spitzenmuster besteht aus Blätterranken, die sich graziös zum Oberkopf hinschlängeln.
