Like frost sparkling on a leaded glass windowpane, the textural lace pattern on this comfy slouch hat delights the eye. Even the smallest of details are charmed, like the symmetrical crown shaping, and the way the ribbed brim melts perfectly into the main stitch pattern. The sumptuously bulky merino-pima cotton blend of Woolfolk LUFT makes this hat a quick knit, and makes its texture shine.” Shannon Cook
