The Snickelway Hat is a bonus pattern with the purchase of The 2023 Case of the Missing Lace Scarf and available to purchase on its own.

The hat is a tribute to fictional Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow of York, UK, who uses the Snickelways regularly as he tracks down perpetrators before heading for his dinner at one of his favorite Italian restaurants. First book in the series: A Long Shadow by H. L. Marsay. Detective John Shadow is one of the eight detectives featured through lace in the scarf.

The Snickelway Hat has a swirled pattern that winds around in alternating lace and stockinette stitch bands and also has a bead option to bring a fun sparkle to the hat.
