Take a Bow by Linda Wilgus

I’m a huge fan of all things vintage and frequently find design ideas in the fashions of days gone by.

This hat was inspired by the cloche flapper hats of the 1920s. It is knit in a mock cable pattern made up out of 6 easy rows. The big floppy bow on the side is both modern and vintage-flavored at the same time, and knit in a different color from the rest of the hat, it is sure to grab  attention. Using a DK weight yarn, this hat is light, yet warm enough to keep your head toasty on a cold winter day when made of pure wool.
