This cream wool hat from the 1970s was hand knit or crocheted in a swirled / braided cable pattern, with a spiral cap. I believe this is crochet, but could be wrong. Either way, the cozy knit can be pulled down like a beanie or worn more slouchy on the back of the head. Very cute. Please note this is an off white/beige/cream color and not pure white. Hat measures 10" flat. Original owner may have had pets, please do not purchase if allergic to wools or pets.

This hat was originally owned by Andrea W. of Greenfield NH, who once said that "Denim was the worst thing that ever happened to fashion." She collected a stunning collection of designer pieces through her life, filling up armories and closets with her excellent taste through the years. Andrea loved travel, collected straw hats, and knew a good fabric when she saw one. I will be adding more of her wonderful pieces to my shop throughout the year.

This item is sold from a vintage seller in Nashua, NH.
