Valley Yarns 452 Hearts of Oak Hat

Hearts of Oak Hat has a slouchy style that features the intriguing and fun to knit Hearts of Oak stitch pattern worked in Valley Yarns Northampton. Subtle, textured heart shapes are formed by increases and decreases, and while the right and wrong sides of the fabric look different, they both look fantastic. You may even be inclined to wear it inside out!
