This basic hat can be knitted very quickly, and then it becomes a
blank canvas for unleashing creative ideas. For a girly feel, embellish
the hat with buttons and flowers; alternatively, add dramatic pom-poms.
Let your imagination take hold—scour the bottom of your sewing basket
or knitting stash, knit stripes, add lazy daisies, sew on beads… Make
this hat as individual as you dare.
