\"EmbossedLeaves\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The knit stitch leaves stand out against a purl background, which makes this hat very stretchy. The poles the leaves climb meet very neatly at the crown. The bottom edge has a very slight scallop.<\/p>\n

This is a straight needle version of the pattern. See the in-the-round version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sizes:<\/strong> The circumference measurements given are unstretched. This is a very stretchy hat.<\/p>\n
