With a hint of a wavy brim, airy lace and a smooth top, the Melita Vintage Hat is an attractive fashion accessory. It is a perfect hat to wear when you want to add some femininity to your attire. And the Melita is a good choice for mild or windy days to keep your hair in place. This is a very fast knit and the lace inset is a simple 4-row pattern repeat that is oh so easy for the beginner.

This hat is a great stash buster, too.
