Kira K. Designs Japanese Maple Hat PDF

The Japanese Maple Hat by Kira K Designs is an easy to wear hat that features a textured leaf stitch pattern and knits up very quickly. Choose a size that is an inch or two larger than your actual head circumference to get a slouchy effect; the ribbed band will stay snug around your head. The lace pattern is charted and written out.
