My Grandma loved flowers, especially violets and pansies. I can’t remember a time we went for a visit where her kitchen wasn’t adorned with planters full of purple and pink flowers. So when I came across the pattern for this sweet little flower lace stitch, I couldn’t help but think of her, and I designed this hat with Violetta in mind.

This micro-striped hat is knit in a lightweight fingering yarn with just enough lace to make it cool enough to wear late in the fall and early into the spring. It’s designed to be slouchy and worn set back on your head as a fun accessory, but it can also be pulled down low over the ears for warmth. The micro-stripe is achieved by changing colors on every row or you could experiment with a fun self-striping yarn. The easy lace pattern keeps your attention while still being simple enough to enjoy some conversation with friends or to watch your latest tv binge.
