This adorable hat is quick and easy to create for intermediate knitters, or advanced beginners wanting to challenge themselves a bit. There is an optional row of easy scalloped crochet that forms the rolled brim, but the hat is just as pretty with the ribbing around the face left plain. The shaping is simple, and a purchased blossom makes it perfect for spring. If you prefer a cotton/acrylic yarn, try substituting Plymouth Yarns Jeannee DK. A very sweet accessory, with an undeniably continental feel, for any special young lady.
