Jamesina

Introducing the Jamesina Vintage Slouch Hat, a beautiful homage to classic styles inspired by my grandmother. This exquisite slouch hat features a unique hatband that is meticulously knit straight and seamed for a polished finish. Stitches are then skillfully picked up from the edge of the band and seamlessly knitted in the round to create the slouchy body of the hat. To add a charming touch, Jamesina is adorned with a delicate crochet flower and a vintage button, making it a fashionable accessory that nods to nostalgic days gone by while maintaining modern appeal.

This fashionable slouch hat is designed to fit the average size woman, with an approximate head circumference of 21” (54cm) when relaxed, and a height of about 8¼” (21cm). Perfect for any season, the Jamesina can easily transition from cozy winter wear to stylish spring outings.

The hatband features an intricate Rosebud stitch pattern: each pattern repeat (12 rows) measures approximately 1¾ inches (4.5cm) when using US#6 (4mm) needles, or a needle size that achieves the required gauge. Keep in mind that the width of the hatband may vary slightly due to the unique stitch pattern used.

To create your own lovely Jamesina hat, you will need around 180 yards (165m) of worsted weight yarn. We recommend selecting a yarn with a good drape, such as a soft wool or a bamboo/wool blend, to ensure your hat not only looks fabulous but also feels wonderful to wear.
