All Squared Up

What makes this unique entrelac hat pattern stand out? The entire upper section of the hat is worked in beautiful entrelac – including the shaping! As it comes off the needles, it transforms into a stylish cap, but with a simple block over a plate, it can easily become a fashionable beret. This versatile design is also super stretchy, ensuring a comfortable fit for a wide range of head sizes.
