Inspired by 1940s and 50s pinup style, Robin is a dramatic teardrop-shaped tilt hat with a folded brim at the back which sweeps to a glamorous point in front. Designed to be worn to one side, like many hats of the period Robin is best worn with a hatpin. Trim with flowers or feathers for a hat that will really turn heads.

Suitable for beginners. You should be familiar with k2tog decreases, and centred double decreases.

Hat is made with worsted yarn held double, and is felted to desired size.
