Capricious Hat
“Not all those who wander are lost…” J. R. R. Tolkien
A bit of whimsy and a bit unpredictable, the Capricious hat is worked brim to crown with a petal lace motif. Cable crossings create wayward shifts in the design, while carefully placed crown decreases come together with harmonious results. Pair the hat with the Capricious Mitts to prepare for any adventure that comes your way.
