view bookThis eye-catching hat features a playful geometric Fair Isle motif and a wide brim that can be folded up for added warmth, or left unfolded for a more casual slouchy style. The hat is worked in the round from a chart that features easy to understand integrated crown shaping, and comes in two sizes.
The pattern is named after the influential German photographer Hilla Becher (1934-2015), who is known for her straightforward depictions of post-war industrial structures in black and white.
