Bohemian! Stylishness! Versatility! Shabby Chic! There are many ways to describe the Sahara. The strategic construction of this hat allows the wearer to use their imagination and create their style. And styles can be changed on a whim. Wear a knot at the side, front or back. Have a loosely cascading drape. Wrap the head for an elegant look.

The Sahara is a perfect head covering for all seasons. Knit it in a cotton acrylic or cotton linen blend for warm months to wick moisture away. Knit using wool blends for colder months to provide warm.

More options! Instructions include 4 sizes and stitch counts for both worsted and bulky weight yarns.

And the Sahara is so easy to knit using purl, knit, k2tog, and kfb. No Seams!
