This stylish cap is available in two sizes and features a decorative braid on the band, a chic brim, a fluffy top, and lovely spiral shaping on the crown, complete with a neat hem. The innovative brim shape is crafted through precise geometry combined with a tight gauge and double layers—meaning there are no cardboard or plastic inserts required for structure! The decorative braid is conveniently knitted directly into the hat design, eliminating the need to turn your work to pick up stitches.

This unique cap is named to honor my Grandmother's Irish heritage, specifically the Brittons, who emigrated to the United States in the late 1800s. As I continue to trace their ancestry and unravel more about their remarkable journey, this pattern serves as a heartfelt tribute to my family's history.

A comprehensive brim photo tutorial is also available to guide you through each step—just reach out to me via email at woolybearhandknits@yahoo.com after your pattern purchase to access it!

This pattern has been thoughtfully test-knitted by the talented caeknitter—thank you, Cindy, for your invaluable contributions!
