Gracefully

Discover the charm of our Garter Lace Edging Hat Pattern, a delightful project that elevates a simple hat into a treasured accessory. This versatile and elegant hat is designed for the entire family, from preemies to adults, and showcases the unique beauty of your chosen yarn. Using just one skein of Koigu Kersti—which features 100% merino wool and offers a stunning 114 yards per 50 grams—or around 50 grams of your preferred DK or light worsted yarn, this knit project is both economical and enjoyable. The hat's playful name is a delightful pun, inspired by my lovely daughter, Grace, who serves as the model for this charming design. The garter lace edging curves gracefully around the wearer's face, adding a touch of sophistication and style that makes it perfect for any occasion. **HAT SIZES:** Available in various sizes: preemie, baby, toddler/child, tween, and adult. **MEASUREMENTS:** The finished hat measures approximately 13 (15, 17.25, 19.5, 21.75) inches, designed to provide a snug fit with 0-1.5 inches of negative ease for a comfortable wearing experience. **YARN DETAILS:** This pattern calls for one skein of the luxurious Koigu Kersti (100% merino).
