Modeled after an old standard, this modern version of Gramps’ favorite fishing hat adds a hint of textural lace for a feminine touch. Casual or dressy, this hat provides a bit of warmth without being too hot. Wear it with the brim up or down and make the tall or short version for a variety of looks. Make a pair of matching mittens to keep hands toasty warm and complete the set.
