This very soft and warm hat is designed like those worn by the women of the 1920s era. The entire hat (except for one round and the flower) uses double-stranded yarn making a warm winter hat and one that holds its shape quite well. Directions are also given for knitting the flower for the hatband, but you could also embellish the hat with a ribbon bow, silk flower or big buttons. I believe this would also be a very cute head covering for anyone experiencing hair loss but mostly during cold months because it is quite warm.
