This set of hairpin lace hat patterns presents an easy way to explore the versatility of the hairpin lace technique. Create three distinctly different hats, exploring different hairpin lace joining methods, and each time you will be rewarded with a hat of delicate and timeless styling.

Don't be fooled, the filligree texture of the hairpin lace stitches makes these hats appear deceptively intricate. No one will make you confess that they are exceedingly simple and fun to make. These hat patterns are for intermediate knitters/crocheters who are able to work repetitive patterns and mid-level shaping and finishing.

Hats in the collection include:
