Floppy Brimmed Sunhat

[HomekeepingGran]

I finished the chemo hat for my friend Pat, who started chemo this week. This is Lion Brand Cotton, their version of kitchen cotton. Well, the red is LB. I think the black could be Lily Sugar and Cream but it has long since lost its ball band. The decoration was bought for another project which quickly became a UFO so I was glad to re-discover it in all my junk. (Ahem, stash.)

 

The pattern was off Ravelry and is Lisa Zingsheim's Floppy Brimmed Sunhat for Rav members. I added an extra few rows of knitting and an extra increase row to widen and enlarge the brim just a bit.

 

Special thanks to MizToolLady on Rav whom I shamelessly copied and who was kind enough to give me some tips about the brim.

Cute hat! I am sure it will give her a little lift to put it on and feel a little "stylin"
