This hat was a brilliant Christmas gift, made by Julie.
Julie has knitted and crochet me 3 hats over several years, one of her hats is my most worn hat by a country mile and I can see this one becoming well worn as well
Julie has advised me the hat is modified from a pattern called Button Down Hat by Cheryl Oberle and published in a book called Luxury One Skein Wonders.
She modified it to match the yarn she used and to make it bigger as she says all the hats in the book assume the wearer has a tiny head, if she followed the pattern it would have come out at 50cm rather than 60cm.
The hat is intended to be roomy, like a bag so it traps air around the head and helps to keep in the warmth.
The hat is basically a rectangle with 2 of the corners folded down to give it shape
