Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or simply want to elevate a casual outfit, this hat is the perfect choice.
The Elsie Hat knitting pattern serves as an excellent tutorial for mastering the Vikkel Braid technique.

Included in the pattern is the crochet flower design, allowing you to personalize your hat even more. The hats featured are crafted from 100% cotton, but don’t hesitate to explore other fiber options, as they work wonderfully with this design.

- 4 worsted weight yarns (cotton or other types) – 90 yards for the hat and 30 yards for the flower
