A comfortable summer hat, sized child to adult, in eye-catching V stitch and cool cotton yarn. The sloped brim keeps the sun out of your eyes and two crown fit options ensure a comfortable fit. The flexibility of the V stitch makes the hat easy to wear over sunglasses and there are several finishing options to choose from in order to get a shape and style that suits each wearer.

Sizes:
31a (31b, 41a, 41b, 51a, 51b, 61a, 61b)

Crown circumference:
31 (31, 41, 41, 51, 51, 61, 61)cm
12 (12, 16, 16, 20, 20, 24, 24)”

Shaping: two crown options for each measurement: a - tapered crown, or b - roomier, straight sided crown.

Ease: your choice! I made mine slightly larger size than the wearer’s head but it can be worn slightly stretched too.
