Cockleshells Summer Hat

Did you know that the popular Cockleshells Hat was originally designed as a stylish summer topper? This delightful knit hat was created last spring as an introductory lace pattern for a class I was teaching, and it quickly became a summer favorite! I found the Cockleshells Hat to be not only light and cool but also incredibly easy to wear. It served as a lifesaver for taming beach-blown tresses while enjoying time on the boat or lounging at the beach. With its extremely loose-fitting and slouchy design, you'll never have to worry about experiencing that dreaded "hat head!"

Crafted with Berocco Indigo, a wonderfully soft cotton yarn made from recycled jeans, this hat is both eco-friendly and stylish. Berocco Indigo comes in a variety of vibrant brights and chic neutrals, so you’ll surely want to knit one in every color to complement your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern is perfect for enhancing your skills while creating a practical and fashionable accessory. Dive into the world of knitting with the Cockleshells Hat — the perfect blend of function and fun for your sunny days!
