Pleated Pointed Hat (2022LD-4)

DEGEN Collection | Fall 2022

Lindsay Degen of DEGEN puts the focus on fit proportion and vibrant color combinations in this playful collection for adults. Each garment or accessory explores a different technique -- including stripes, brioche, zigzags, and more.

This hat starts as a typical rolled-brim cap, but the top moves into new territory: a series of pleats, accentuated by the bulk of Cardo. Instructions included for the smiley-face pompom!
