The cables on this brim follow though into the body where they mingle with a delicate leaf lace pattern creating an intricate and beautiful pattern. The deep brim enhances the slouch, and can be worked shorter for a beret finished if preferred.

This Hat used a combined cast-on method to create the best finish, and instructions are included for that.
