I love working in my garden in the summer, but after about 10am it becomes blistering hot. This hat is made out of a grass like material called raffia and keeps the sun off your head, ears, and neck. At the same time keeping you cool by letting the breeze through the open stitch work.

Working with Raffia can be challenging to work with unless you know a few simple tricks that will make it slide off the hook. In this pattern I keep you right on track.

Size G hook

1 bundle basketry raffia (approx 4 oz)

1 bucket of water for wetting material

Apron - for keeping your clothing neat and tidy
