GENERAL INFORMATION

This hat is made with worsted weight yarn, offering the perfect balance of warmth and structure without being too bulky. The textured stitch design mimics the crisp, linear arrangement of Briza seed heads, creating a visually striking pattern. Ideal for cooler weather, the hat provides a snug fit, making it both practical and comfortable for daily wear. The worsted yarn also makes it a quick and satisfying project, perfect for knitters looking to create a functional yet elegant accessory for colder months.
