Inspired by the timeless tragedy of Hamlet, the Ophelia Hat Crochet Pattern brings together elegance, symbolism, and storytelling in every stitch. This design reflects Ophelia’s iconic imagery:

The white hat echoes the purity of her flowing dress.

Soft green willow branches encircle the crown, recalling the moment she’s drawn into the water.

A delicate border of yellow rue flowers represents sorrow and regret.

The blue brim hints at the still, reflective waters of her fate.

The result is a wearable work of art that feels as poetic as it is cozy.
