Inspired by the glorious Pacific Northwest, where the wild ferns grow, well…wild! To take a hike in the PNW is to take a walk among these wild ferns. The graceful rows of eyelets in this hat alternate with twisted ribbing, reminiscent of delicate ferns interspersed between mossy tree trunks.

Hat is worked in the round, in one piece, from the bottom-up.
