I love the woven texture on my Spring Cottage Socks so much I really wanted to see it on a heavier yarn. The Sunbreak began this way, but with special details like the addition of fluffy lace weight and the delicate picot edge on the double brim, its so much more than a textured beanie.

Thank you so much for your support of my hat. Please use the tag #sunbreakcap to share with me on instagram! Seeing your yarn choices and watching your progress is the greatest joy. Happy knitting!
