Ensata Hat

• Product description

  A ring of curvy lace leaves contrasts with the clean geometry of the crown shaping in the Ensata hat. Flowing organically from the lace pattern, the all-over twisted rib gives structure and elasticity to this stretchy beanie. Ensata is knit in 4-ply fingering weight Peerie, for even more body and stitch definition.

  The hat is worked circularly from the bottom up.
