Here’s the perfect transitional hat for summer into autumn! It’s an introductory lace project worked in cool natural cotton (a southern counterpart to its winter cousins, the Cockleshells Hat & Cowl). The Cockleshells Hat is light, cool and easy to wear, a real life saver for keeping beach blown tresses in line while on the boat or at the beach. It is extremely loose fitting and slouchy, so no hat head! Berocco Indigo is a wonderfully soft cotton made from recycled jeans that comes in a variety of neutrals and brights. You’ll want one in every color!
