It was while crunching through a carpet of fallen acorns on a crisp autumn morning that the tiny seeds of inspiration for this hat (and the matching OAK SHAWL) were sewn. The simple lace pattern – suggesting row upon row of acorns – the stretchy tubular cast on and slightly slouchy shaping, makes the hat light and easy to wear; perfect for autumnal forest strolls!
