Holly (Golightly)

In an enchanting dark green embellished with charming red buttons, this delightful hat proclaims 'tis the season' in style. Its whimsical design could easily be imagined on Holly Golightly, elegantly bundled up against the chill while gazing into the windows of Tiffany’s. The shape is a captivating blend of a classic hat, a chic cloche, and a touch of vintage bonnet flair, making it a unique addition to any winter wardrobe.

Crafted for quick and cozy enjoyment, this alpaca/wool blend hat works up effortlessly in no time using any worsted or light worsted weight yarns. You can create one, or perhaps even two, in just one cozy evening of knitting!

The construction begins with the bottom edge ribbing, which is thoughtfully worked flat in two pieces. These pieces are then seamlessly joined in the round, allowing the rest of the hat to be effortlessly created in one continuous piece.
