We were blessed to raise chickens for many years with our kids. Our favorite variety were the Buff Orpington’s. They were docile, buff colored beauties, incredibly soft w/wispy long tail feathers.

Part beanie, part kerchief, comfy and warm with a twist…

Twisted brim, joined, pattern panel added, stitches decreased and the hat seamed shut. finish by working flat to decrease into classic kerchief. Finish w/a button to tie it all together!!

I-cord variation option!!! for a beautifully finished edge. Thank you kobuu
